Biographical Note Edward Weston (1886-1958) was a pioneering 20th-century American photographer known for his exploration of form in landscapes, still lifes, and nudes. Weston was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 24, 1886, and later moved to the Los Angeles, California, area, where he opened a portrait studio in 1911. Weston moved to Northern California in 1929 and began taking photographs of the region including many in the Point Lobos area near Carmel. In the 1930s, Weston participated in numerous exhibitions and was involved with other California photographers including Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, John Paul Edwards, Sonya Noskowiak, Henry Swift, and Weston's apprentice Willard Van Dyke, with whom Weston founded the Group f/64 photography group in 1932. In 1937, Weston became the first photographer awarded a Guggenheim Foundation grant, and he published his first book of photographs, Seeing California with Edward Weston, in 1939. In the early 1940s, Weston selected and printed 500 of his photographs as a gift to the Huntington Library. Weston was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1947 and stopped taking photographs a year later. Weston died on January 1, 1958. One of Weston's sons, Brett Weston (1911-1993), became a photographer and often collaborated with his father.

Includes correspondence with Edward Weston and other photographers; reviews and announcements of photography exhibitions, including two of Group f/64, of which Noskowiak was member; clippings about Noskowiak, Edward Weston, her photography and other topics; negatives and contact prints made by Noskowiak, and reference prints made by the CCP staff. Quantity/ Extent 10 linear feet Language of Materials English Biographical/ Historical Note Sonya Noskowiak (1900–1975) began her photographic career as studio assistant to Johan Hagemeyer in 1925 and within less than a decade exhibited alongside Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Imogen Cunningham. Like her Group f/64 counterparts, she produced sharp-focus studies of natural and man-made objects, which emphasized photographic presentation rather than subject matter. Following an intense period as a creative photographer, Noskowiak maintained a portrait studio and pursued documentary photography. Noskowiak was born in Leipzig, Germany, and spent her childhood years in Chile, Panama, and California, as her father sought employment in gardening and landscape design. At age 19 she moved to San Francisco, enrolled in secretarial school, and then worked at photographer and horticulturalist Johan Hagemeyer’s Los Angeles studio.

  • 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.

The controversial artist’s creation of this painting has been recounted in dozens of books and dramatized in the Oscar-winning film Pollock. Rumors—such as it was painted in one alcohol-fueled night and at first didn’t fit the intended space —abound. But never in doubt was that the creation of the Mobile App painting was pivotal, not only for Pollock but for the Abstract Expressionists who would follow his radical conception of art —“no limits, just edges.” Sound of One Hand, The J.

    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.
