Introduction

Edward Weston's "Eggs and Slicer" (1930) stands as one of the absolute pinnacles of American Modernist photography and a visual manifesto of "Straight Photography." In this image, Weston elevates a mundane kitchen utensil and simple organic elements to a monumental, almost sculptural dimension.
