Kansas City, Missouri.- The Nelson-Atkins Museum is pleased to present “The Photographs of Brett Weston”, on view from November 23rd through April 1st 2012. Over his long and prolific career, photographer Brett Weston (1911-1993) exemplified the modernist aesthetic. The son of famed photographer Edward Weston (1886-1958), Brett Weston was a “natural” with the camera. “The Photographs of Brett Weston” presents a condensed survey of his career of about 40 prints. While rare works from the Museum’s Hallmark Photographic Collection are also included, this exhibition celebrates a gift of 260 Weston prints from Christian K. Keesee, owner of the Brett Weston Archive in Oklahoma City, and provides a study collection for students and researchers.
