Description: Cole Weston first began working in color in 1947, when Eastman Kodak sent a quantity of their new film, Kodachrome, to his father, Edward Weston. Cole used most of the film himself and almost immediately gave up black-and-white photography. He soon became one of photography's finest colorists.

From the microcosmic worlds found in tidepools and severed tree trunks to the grand landscapes of the American West, from campgrounds and ruined abbeys in England to his personal renderings of the female body, Cole has found subject matter to pursue with characteristic zest.

Created during twenty years of photographing the Carmel/Big Sur region of his home and his travels in Europe, this book reveals Cole's instinct for structure and form, his great sensitivity to color and his distinctive vision of the earth's rich beauty.
