Last year I went to see an exhibition of Edward Weston's prints at the Hartford Atheneum. They were hung in a gallery next to one which contained a wonderful collection of paintings from the Hudson river school. It was an unfortunate combination, because after looking at the paintings, the photographs were dead.

I wonder which prints they had. Some of the Weston prints, for instance the ones at the Huntington, are not very good. Actually they are pretty bad, the reproductions in the exhibit catalogue being much better. OTOH most of the Weston prints at the Getty are much better. But, perhaps its not the prints but the difference in the content of the images. I must be frank that I have rarely seen any photographs which have the impact of the best paintings.
