Weston Featured
In Photo Exhibit
An exhibition of 100 black and white photographs by Ed
ward Weston opens today in the gallery of the Hetzel Union
building. The exhibit, entitled "The World of Edward Wes
ton," will continue until Oct. 12.
Edward Weston's work has
photographers,. His photographs
have been widely published both
hereand abroad and haye 'been
the subject of , six books and many
articles. Weston was the first pho
tographer to be awarded a Gug
genheim FelloWship, and the only
one about whom the U.S, State
Department has made a • film
which is circulated abroad
The photographs in the exhibi
tion include both the early and
recent work of his 50-year career.
They range from his angular ex
periments of the early 20's to the
powerful portrait heads done in
Mexico. Included also are his
close-ups of shells, rocks and
vegetables and his studies of the
American scene.
Weston's photographs reflect
his desire to present "the stark
beauty that a lens can so exact
ly render, presented without in
terference of 'artistic effect'." In
his journal he states his wish to
show "honesty unembellished•
first conceptions coming straight
through unadulterated— no sug
gestion, no allegiance to any oth
er medium."
To Weston, the "thing itself"
was' most important. His many
photographs of nature reflect his
opinion that "through the lens
one is prone to approach - nature
with a desire to learn from, rath
er than impose upon. so that a
photograph done in this spirit is
not an interpretation, a biased
opinion of what nature should be,
but a revelation . "
Camera enthusiasts will be in
terested to know that Weston
used very simple equipment an,
8"x10" view camera and a 4"x5"
Graftex for portraits.
The HUB exhibition is spon
sored by the School of the Arts
and is circulated by the Smith-1
sonian Institution Traveling '

hibition Service.

Dairy Scientists Study
New Type of Silage
Dairy scientists at the Univer
sity have announced that they
are investigating the feasibility
of using a new type of silage,
designated "haylage". •
Recent research has indicated
that the partially dried silage,
when stored in gas-fight silos,
may keep better and be more nu
tritious than high moisture silage.
