There is an excellent retrospective of Edward Weston's photographic legacy currently showing at the Monterey Museum of Art's La Mirada venue. Two galleries contain many images from Weston's career as a portrait and fine art photographer. Besides the well-known photographs of nudes, seashells, vegetables, kitchen objects, etc. a number of Weston's portraits are displayed. I was particularly moved by his photograph of the poet Robinson Jeffers. La Mirada, the museum's satellite venue, was also a pleasant surprise. It's an older home with lovely courtyards and a rose garden. Two large galleries have been added and the Edward Weston exhibit fills both. Edward Weston: American Photographer continues through October 9th, 2011.
