"This revelatory show hones in on Weston's transition to a more modernist aesthetic between the inter-war years, in which he departed from the Pictorialists (who are also exhibited here). Whether framing nudes or bell peppers, his pictures display astounding levels of accuracy, attention and sharpness. Weston had an unparalleled ability to combine an almost spiritual insight into the nature of things."
"The main Paris Photo event at the Grand Palais is its usual bustling self, a sprawl of booths that flaunt photography's every imaginable shape and size. At the same time, Paris' galleries are hosting a mix of shows, from blockbusters of household names to smaller spotlights on emerging artists. It's a good week to get lost in Paris, a city that rewards those who explore."
Paris becomes a focal point for photography during Paris Photo week, with the Grand Palais hosting a bustling fair of booths exhibiting diverse photographic forms. Galleries across the city stage a range of shows from household-name blockbusters to intimate spotlights on emerging and undersung artists. The MEP presents Edward Weston's transition to a Modernist aesthetic between the inter-war years, showing his precise, sharply detailed images and his ability to blend spiritual insight with refined photographic technique. Jean-Kenta Gauthier's Odéon space presents Hannah Villiger's early twig sculptures and vibrant intimate watercolours that probe the boundary between external surroundings and inner worlds.
