I just finished traveling the country from coast to coast but only saw a small number of Edward Weston prints. There are three on display right now in Palo Alto.
All of them were extraordinarily dark. All of them looked like bad test prints, at best.
I've seen much better prints than these from Edward Weston. What's up? I wondered when I saw them whether he was going outside in the bright sunlight when judging print tonalities--and in the dark museum the prints then would look terrible. Or maybe the prints are degrading due to poor fixing?
Thoughts?
