Edward
Weston was born in 1886 in Highland Park, Illinois. When
he was sixteen years old his father gave him a Kodak Bulls-Eye
#2 camera and he began to photograph at his aunt's farm
and in Chicago parks. In 1903 Weston first had his photographs
exhibited at the Chicago Art Institute. Weston's signature
photographic style did not emerge until a three-year stay
in Mexico in 1923.
There, the brilliant light seemed to demand a sharply
focused image, and this influence, combined with the impact
of modernist painting and the revolutionary photographs
of Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler, led Weston to create
the precise images whether portraits, still-lifes, nudes,
or landscapes for which he became known.
