Shadows and Light: The Photography of Brett Weston

October 29, 2024 - February 1, 2025

Brett Weston (1911-1993), a 20th century American photographer, was a master of high contrast and abstract imagery. His seven-decade practice was clearly defined by his manipulation of shapes, textures, and tones that unify figures with their surrounding spaces, to create an effect where all things appear to be of the same but polarizing substance. Shadows and Light: The Photography of Brett Weston is an exhibition that explores Weston’s unique techniques, which have both captivated and puzzled viewers for decades, cementing his status as one of the greatest American photographic artists.
