“Seldom has an artist written about his life and work with such candor and emotional precision as Edward Weston. Spanning the years 1923 to 1926, when Weston lived and worked in Mexico, this volume illuminates the formative period of his artistic vision. Through his own writings, Weston reveals the daily struggles, revelations, and aesthetic awakenings that shaped his photography and identity. The Daybooks offer a rare self-portrait of an artist in pursuit of truth through form and light, capturing both the rigor and the poetry of a life devoted to seeing.”
