BRETT WESTON, "A PERSONAL SELECTION" SIGNED LIMITED EDITION BOOK
"A Personal Collection" a hand-signed limited edition hardcover book with sleeve from listed photographer Brett Weston. Edition 161/300. Includes a silver photograph originally included with this book. This first edition published in 1986 by Photography West Graphics, Inc. includes 100 Laser Fultone® Reproductions from Gelatin Silver photographs handmade by the artist. Printed under Carol Williams’s and Brett Weston’s supervision by Gardner/Fulmer Lithograph in Buena Park, California, in an edition of 5,000 copies and bound by Roswell Bookbinding in Phoenix, Arizona. The typefaces selected for this edition are Perpetual and Palatino set by Gary Lineburg, Industrial Litho, Inc., in Eugene, Oregon. The paper used is 60 lb. Centura Enamel Cover. Edited and designed by Carol E. Williams, who also supervised the printing and final production. Text by Cody W. Thompson and book design by George Beltran. Brett Weston is one of America’s greatest photographers. He sustained a remarkably dedicated seventy year career since the time he took his first photographs in 1925 until his death in 1993. His images form one of the strongest bonds between photography and other mediums of modern art. Called by some admirers the “Picasso of Photography”, Weston’s work is one of the defining poles of 20th century photography in its technical precision, bold design, and daring extremes of abstraction and private imagination.
