Edward Weston, Cabbage leaf, 1931. Edward Weston was founder of the group F/64, in 1932. Made up of a total of seven photographers, among whom Imogen Cunningham and Ansel Adams stand out. Perhaps the most recognizable image of Edward Weston and that at the same time perfectly defines the mentality of the F/64 group is cabbage leaf, from 1931: the sharpness of the image and the clarity of the details, with good focus and framing. Edward Weston copyright 1971 Doubleday & Company, Inc. Total dimensions: 35,5 x 27,3 cm. Fine condition (with small imperfections). Of this photograph Weston said: “[the] cabbage has renewed my interest, marvellous hearts, like carved ivory, leaves with veins like flames, with forms curved like the most exquisite shell… in the cabbage I sense the entire secret of life’s force.” Edward Henry Weston (March 24, 1886 – January 1, 1958) was an American photographer. He has been called "one of the most innovative and influential American photographers" and "one of the masters of 20th century photography". Group f/64 or f.64 was a group founded by seven 20th-century San Francisco Bay Area photographers who shared a common photographic style characterized by sharply focused and carefully framed images seen through a particularly Western (U.S.) viewpoint. In part, they formed in opposition to the pictorialist photographic style that had dominated much of the early 20th century, but moreover, they wanted to promote a new modernist aesthetic that was based on precisely exposed images of natural forms and found objects. The name of the F/64 group came from the width of the aperture that these photographers usually used, that is, a very closed aperture that allowed great sharpness in the image, as well as a great depth of field. This group was greatly influenced by the photography of the North American Paul Strand, defending pure and clear photography, very much against the pastoralist current. The thinking of the F/64 group was closely linked to the New Objectivity that emerged in Europe at the same time. The group members were Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, John Paul Edwards, Sonya Noskowiak, Henry Swift, Willard Van Dyke, and Edward Weston.
