The exhibition, the main appointment of the Brescia Photo Festival, also presents 40 works by children Brett and Cole and granddaughter Cara .

The exhibition, far from being considered as a family portrait for works, is configured as a story of artistic experiences that spans over a century of photography, history and images of a world in constant change.

Often directly compared to painting and sculpture, Edward Weston's photography is the expression of an obstinate search for purity, in compositional forms as well as in the almost maniacal perfection of the image. The author investigates objects in their quintessence, electing them to visual metaphors of the very elements of nature.
