  • Brett Weston June 2020
    #51 June 2020 Cameraderie Brett Weston (1911-1993) Brett Weston and his father, Edward Weston I started this series on great photographers in October 2012 with Edward Weston, the photographer with whom I was then, and now, most impressed. Now, for the beginning of the second set of 50 articles—an anniversary of sorts—I am turning to his son, Brett Weston. Please have a look at his Wikipedia article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Weston From the Wikipedia article: [Brett] Weston began taking photographs in 1925, …. He began showing his photographs with Edward Weston in 1927, was featured at the international exhibition at Film und Foto in Germany at age 17, and mounted his first one-man museum retrospective at age 21 at the De Young Museum in San Francisco in January, 1932. Brett Weston was credited by photography historian Beaumont Newhall as the first photographer to make negative space the subject of a photograph. I am impressed by the younger Weston’s extraordinary versatility in his photography, possibly more so than his father—a difficult decision for me. In the sample images below, I am trying to show that versatility. Street Corner, New York 1944 I am charmed by these two extremely formal compositions. Nude in Pool [1979-1982] Dunes Weston apparently saw similarities between nudes and dunes, and exhibited them together. This is Weston’s famous broken glass image, said by one critic to be the first photograph ever to capture “negative space.” Edward Weston by Brett Weston Manuel Hernández Galván by Edward Weston, 1924 Do you have any doubt that Brett Weston shot this image of his father in the style of his father’s famous shot of General Galván? .

  • Transforming Practices
    Transforming Practices: Imogen Cunningham’s Botanical Studies of the 1920s Caroline Marsh Spring Semester 2014 Dr. Juliet Bellow, Art History University Honors in Art History Imogen Cunningham worked for decades as a professional photographer, creating predominantly portraits and botanical studies. In 1932, she joined the influential Group f.64, a group of West Coast photographers who worked to pioneer the concept of “Straight Photography,” a movement that emphasized the use of sharp focus and high contrast. Members of Group f.64 included Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, whose works have since overshadowed other photographers in the group. Cunningham has been marginalized in histories of Group f.64, and in the history of photography in general, despite evidence of her development of many important photographic practices during her lifetime. This paper builds on scholarship about Group f.64, using biographical information and analysis of her photographs, to argue that Cunningham influenced more of the ideas in the group than has been recognized, especially in her focus on the simplification of form and the creation of compelling compositions. Focusing on her botanical studies, I show that many of the ideas of f.64 existed in her oeuvre before the formal creation of the group. Analysis of her participation in the group reveals her contribution to developments in art photography in that period, and shows that her gender played a key role in historical accounts that downplay her significant contributions to f.64. Marsh 2 Imogen Cunningham became well known in her lifetime as an independent and energetic photographer from the West Coast, whose personality defined her more than the photographs she created or her contribution to the developing straight photography movement in California.

  • Post-Visualization Jerry N. Uelsmann 1967
    Post-Visualization Edward Weston, in his efforts to find a language suitable and indigenous to his own life and time, developed a method of working which today we refer to as pre-visualization. Jerry N. Uelsmann 1967 Weston, in his daybooks, writes, the finished print is pre-visioned complete in every detail of texture, movement, proportion, before exposure-the shutter’s release automatically and finally fixes my conception, allowing no after manipulation. It is Weston the master craftsman, not Weston the visionary, that performs the darkroom ritual. The distinctively different documentary’ approach exemplified by the work of Walker Evans and thedecisive moment approach of Henri Cartier Bresson have in common with Weston’s approach their emphasis on the discipline of seeing and their acceptance of a prescribed darkroom ritual. These established, perhaps classic traditions are now an important part of the photographic heritage that we all share. For the moment let us consider experimentation in photography. Although I do not pretend to be a historian, it appears to me that there have been three major waves of open experimentation in photography; the first following the public announcement of the Daguerreotype process in 1839; the second right after the turn of the century under the general guidance of Alfred Stieglitz and the loosely knit Photo-Secession group; and the third in the late twenties and thirties under the influence of Moholy-Nagy and the Bauhaus. In each instance there was an initial outburst of enthusiasm, excitement and aliveness. The medium was viewed as something new and fresh possibilities were explored and unanticipated directions were taken.

  • Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints
    Noble Metals for the Early Modern Era: Platinum, Silver- Platinum, and Palladium Prints Constance Mc Cabe Histories of photography usually emphasize the photogra- phers’ command of the camera and the resulting pictures while offering little insight into the extensive chemical and technical artistry performed in studios and darkrooms. Research into the materials and methods behind photo- graphic prints, however, can shed light on the aesthetic goals of the photographers and help to determine which properties are the result of artistic decisions and which might be the natural effects of aging. By studying the array of platinum, silver- platinum, and palladium prints in the Thomas Walther Collection, we are given an opportunity to appreciate how photographers in the early twentieth cen- tury manipulated materials and chemicals to achieve a quasi-modern aesthetic. The aesthetic benchmark for many photographers at the dawn of the twentieth century was the platinum print, extolled for its unparalleled artistic qualities and perma- nence. Alfred Stieglitz (1864–​­1946) and Clarence H. White (1871–​­1925), both highly influential photographers and lead- ers of Pictorialism, a movement championing photography as fine art, praised platinum as the ideal photographic medium for their exhibition prints. Their disciples contin- ued to test the medium for new and unusual effects, exploiting such curiosities as multiple exposures, tone reversal, and solarization, and exploring unconventional compositional elements and abstraction. Highly attuned to the technical craft of their work, they investigated myriad products and chemical modifications to achieve their artistic fig. 1 Alfred Stieglitz. From the Back Window at “291”.

Cammerer, Director UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON EATH VALLEY National Monument was created by Presidential proclamation on 2February 11), 1933, and enlarged to its present dimensions on March 26, 1937. Embracing 2,981 square miles, or nearly 2 million acres of primitive, unspoiled desert country, it is the second largest area administered by the National Park Service in the United States proper. Famed as the scene of a tragic episode in the gold-rush drama of '49, Death Valley has long been known to scientist and layman alike as a region rich in scientific and human interest. Its distinctive types of scenery, its geological phenomena, its flora, and climate are not duplicated by any other area open to general travel. In all ways it is different and unique. The monument is situated in the rugged desert region lying east of the High Sierra in eastern California and southwestern Nevada. The valley itself is about 140 miles in length, with the forbidding Panamint Range forming the western wall, and the precipitous slopes of the Funeral Range bounding it on the east.
