Item Detail

This first book of photographs by Fleur Weymouth is the fruit of her lifelong commitment to the discipline of the eye. Whether her lens focuses on the lush and enveloping petals of the 'Voodoo' rose, a pig's frilly ear, a woman's sweep of hair, or views of sea and sky, Weymouth succeeds in illuminating her subject with a fresh vision that is a delight to the viewer. Her art and the mastery of her craft reside in her unique ability to work up close with her subjects -- to penetrate not merely the object itself but its spirit. -- "One of the great private pleasures -- sitting down with a stack of Fleur Weymouth photographs -- goes public. It is long overdue", -- Eric Lindbloom, Angels at the Arno
