The photographer’s muse
Kristine Berey

The great American photographer, Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958), is remembered as “a pioneer of precise and sharp presentation” in an era when photography was more pictorial than realistic. “I want the stark beauty that a lens can so exactly render, presented without interference of artistic effect,” he has said.
Charis Wilson was only 19 when she met the 48-year-old Weston, but changed his life and his art forever. “A new love came into my life, a most beautiful one, one which will, I believe, stand the test of time,” Weston said, describing his first meeting with his future lover, creative partner, model and muse.
Now 92, bent and frail, Charis Wilson looks back at her years with Weston, in The Eloquent Nude, the Love and Legacy of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson.
The documentary, directed by Ian McCluskey, has been described as “a film of stunning beauty and great charm” and features sensitive re-enactments, rare archival images and interviews.
The film will be screened on March 14 and 15 as part of the 26th International Festival of Films on Art, on until March 16, 2008. For a complete listing of films and venues, visit www.artfifa.com.
