Edward Weston,White Radish, 1931 " I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty. Here was every sensuous curve of the ''human figure divine'' but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, in the glory of its chaste convulsions and in its swelling, sweeping, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace. " Edward Weston
Edward Weston was the one person that transformed photography from being a mere technique to an art form. He accomplished his achievement in the 20s and 30s. Since then, most art forms, such as painting, theater, literature have changed immensely. Looking at his majestic images, so similar to most "good" photographs produced today, I cannot avoid to ask myself a provocative question: did photography evolved at all in the last 80 years? If not, why?
