Brett Weston: Out of the Shadow

This major retrospective exhibition will feature photographs taken by Brett Weston (1911–1993) from the 1920s through the 1980s. Throughout his career, Weston manipulated the technical qualities of the camera to frame objects close up and push subject matter toward abstraction. These experiments placed him at the forefront of non-objective fine-art photography.
Co-organized by The Phillips Collection and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
