Until 24 July 2022, the Museum of Santa Giulia in Brescia will be playing host to the exhibition WESTON. Edward, Brett, Cole, Cara. A dynasty of photographers.

A highlight of the programme for the fifth edition of the Brescia Photo Festival, which this year will be focusing on the theme of Forms of portrait.

The exhibition, curated by Filippo Maggia, brings together for the first time ever photographs by Edward Weston, his children Brett and Cole, and his granddaughter Cara. There are 80 works on display, 40 of which are by Weston. The exhibition is the result of close collaboration between the Weston family and the Brescia Museum Foundation and has resulted in an extremely interesting event. It is a presentation of artistic experiences that cover more than a century of photography, history and images of a constantly changing world. From plastic poses to nudes, from sand dunes to vegetables transformed into sculptures through the light and shade of photography.

Perfect, unworldly and elegant forms. These are the subjects of one of the most celebrates photographers of the 20th century. Shells that simulate female bodies, vegetables that echo ancient painting styles, all depicted in a sempiternal photographic black and white.
