Edward Weston 1886–1958<br />
<strong>The</strong> 386 gel<strong>at</strong>in sliver prints by Weston in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Group</strong><br />
<strong>Found<strong>at</strong>ion</strong> <strong>Collection</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> is its largest<br />
concentr<strong>at</strong>ion of work by any artist. Early examples of Weston’s<br />
transition away from pictorialist style and the more modernist<br />
photographs made during his transform<strong>at</strong>ive time in Mexico in the<br />
1920s provide context for the l<strong>at</strong>er nudes, landscapes, and formally<br />
striking still life studies of vegetables and everyday objects.
