The first half covers the years 1923-26, when Weston was in residence in Mexico. It illuminates Mexican culture at the height of the Mexican renaissance in the arts, and provides revealing commentary on photography. The second part details the next period in Weston's career, when he developed, expanded, and brought to maturity his attitude towards life and photography.". Hard Cover. Very Good Plus/Very Good Plus.
