Natural Objects/Still Life

1. Close up (microscopic)
Moving towards abstraction
Edward Weston sought sculptural beauty in the natural world. He produced a remarkable series of close-ups of organic forms including shells, peppers, onions, eggplants, artichokes and cabbages. In Pepper, one of the photographer's best-known works, a simple vegetable is transformed into a massive form, one with the muscularity of a human torso and the modelling of a great sculpture.
