Brett Weston (1911-93) is one of the most accomplished photographers in the medium's history, beginning his career at the age of 14 under the tutelage of his legendary father, Edward Weston. Even in his teens, Brett Weston was at the vanguard of modernism in photography, participating in several group exhibitions that established photography as a distinct art form. Throughout Weston's six-decade relationship with photography, abstraction characterized his style, becoming more visually adventurous over time. The popularity of Weston's striking imagery has grown extensively in our own century.
