"Edward Weston is considered one of the key pioneers of modern photography. Along with his circle of friends Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham and Dorethea Lange - Edward Weston would develop a modern aesthetic and shape American photography in the 20th Century. His sensuous and precise images would create a new way to look at landscapes, still lifes and the human form".

"Now age 90, Charis Wilson recounts her years with Weston with great humor, candor, and some regret. Combining insight from leading scholars, rare archival images, and convincingly authentic reenactments, Eloquent Nude presents a remarkable true story of love and loss, travel and adventure, and an intimate look at the making of Modern photography".

DELUXE EDITION - Eloquent Nude -- The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston & Charis Wilson. Includes bonus featurette and the Director's 20-minute "The Making of Eloquent Nude".
