Quotes:

” Similar to images used by the Surrealists, Weston’s high resolution, realist photographs of organic forms and modern marvels encouraged viewers to reconsider seemingly mundane objects and form new associations with them. ” (Henderson and McCain, 2019)

“Weston helped bring the medium out of the Victorian age that favored pictorialist imitations of painting and into the modern era wherein photography became a celebrated medium in its own right.”(Henderson and McCain, 2019)
