Description

A memoir long awaited in tbe arts community, Through Another Lens tells the story of the life Edward and Charis led on the California coast from 1934 to 1945, a period "in which more was done than some accomplish in a lifetime," as Weston once described it in a letter. They took part in a uniquely American (and peculiarly Western) brand of artistic ferment among such figures as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Robinson Jeffers. The book features many unpublished family pictures, photographs by friends including Adams and Beaumont Newhall, and Weston's own extraordinary photographs, some of which have rarely been seen outside private collections.
