Fifty Years – Cole Weston (1991)
This lavish retrospective monograph celebrates the photographic legacy of Cole Weston, the youngest son of legendary photographer Edward Weston and a master of color photography in his own right. Spanning his five-decade career, the book showcases his vibrant dye-transfer prints, from sensual nudes and stark landscapes to intimate family portraits, revealing how he both honored and diverged from his father’s iconic black-and-white modernism.
