The Museum of Santa Giulia is the fulcrum of the Brescia Photo Festival in its 5th edition. Photography is, of course, displayed in several other places in town: the leitmotiv is The Shapes of Portrait. Within this context, the exhibition WESTON. Edward, Brett, Cole, Cara. A Dynasty of Photographers is right here in this museum.
It’s a quite interesting monographic exhibition devoted to Edward Weston, whose works are on show (for the first time in Italy) alongside those of his sons Brett and Cole and of his granddaughter Cara. There are eighty pictures on show: forty are by Edward, including his art portraits, nudes, sand dunes, objects turned into sculptures, his well-known vegetables and shells (which testify of his quest for purity in compositional forms and visual perfection). The other works are by Brett, Cole and Cara.
