Eloquent Nude
The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston and Charis Wilson
She was beautiful, smart, and searching. He was an emerging genius in the world of photography. When they met, they fell instantly in love. Setting off across the West with camera and typewriter in the depths of the Great Depression, Charis Wilson and Edward Weston transformed photography, and each other.
Now age 90, Charis Wilson recounts her years with Weston with great humor, candor, and some regret. Combining insight from leading scholars, rare archival images, and convincingly authentic reenactments, Eloquent Nude presents a remarkable true story of love and loss, travel and adventure, and an intimate look at the making of Modern photography.
This is an incredible documentary DVD on both the great photographer Edward Weston and his model and partner Charis Wilson. The extras on the DVD alone are worth the price, incredibly well done, beautiful and one of the few documentaries of one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century.
this is such an interesting documentary of an amazing photographer thanks for sharing.

It’s amazing Edward. I highly recommend buying the DVD, it will blow your mind, including all the extras on it on the making of it. Weston was one of the greats but his model/wife, even as a 91 year old, is one amazing woman.
Charis Wilson has died at 95. Sad day.
