Brett Weston

Brett Weston (December 16, 1911—January 22, 1993) was an American photographer and the second son of photographer Edward Weston. Brett’s photographs often approach abstraction, with subjects that are difficult to decipher. He is best known for his work in the dunes around Oceano, California, a subject that he shared with his father Edward Weston.

The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, the Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art are among the public collections having photographs by Brett Weston.
