A suburb read!
I've read a lot of biographies in my
life
but nothing holds a candle to Maddow's "
Edward
Weston
:
His Life"
. The way Maddow weaves his words encourages the reader to exalt in the fine art of biography. In other words, Maddow's biography not only becomes a celebration of Weston's life and work but a celebration of the oeuvre itself. A suburb read!
Sex
A delicious read, passionate, imaginative and not very accurate. Maddow was obsessed with
Weston
's sex
life
but that may have helped Weston's fame and Maddow's sales.
One of modern photography's greatest pioneers,
Edward
Weston-whose work
includes indelible images of nudes and peppers, rocks and shells, clouds and landscapes-awakened
his viewers
to the sensuous qualities of organic forms. In his extensive biography of Weston, which was nominated for a National Book Award, Ben Maddow draws heavily from Weston's uncut journals and letters, and from the reminiscences and written accounts of his closest friends and family, to reveal the man and artist behind the seemingly opaque formalism of the photographs.
