Art Viewing Adventures: Edward Weston - An Appreciation (Virtual)
November 11 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Edward Weston is considered by many to be the greatest American photographer of the twentieth century-the harbinger of American Photographic Modernism, who took fine art photography to new heights that had not previously been explored. Join Robert Tat for another of his popular photography presentations as he introduces us to “the magic of Edward Weston.” We view and discuss Weston’s photographs from all periods of his oeuvre, including early pictorialist work, his famous Nautilus Shell, Pepper No. 30 and his later work.
