Edward Chandler Weston was born in 1910 and Theodore BrettWeston in 1911.
Weston's goals for his work were clear yet complex: "To photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock." Weston's greatest achievement was affirming photography's complete independence from painting, thus establishing it as a modern art in its own right.
Brett and Cole Weston, as well as Brett's wife Dody Warren, were appointed to print 800 of what he considered his most important negatives under his supervision in the years 1955-56.
