“My eye likes to isolate. It comes with traveling and with constantly looking. It’s a pursuit, a continuous thing. Matisse was painting until he was 80 or so and Casals played into his 90’s. I’m more rabid than ever. I see new things all the time. I was out to Point Lobos yesterday - I’ve worked there 50 years-and I saw new things. Nature keeps changing things. That’s why I like to travel and see. It’s kind of a mad passion. But that’s the way I am”
~ Brett Weston
(1911-1993)
You get to sense the intensity and focus it takes to sustain a long and productive career from Brett’s words. A life dedicated to art is not for the faint of heart. It is not a “normal” way to live. But to have a talent that creates such beauty is rare and priceless.
