TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Edward Weston's anti-Puritanism JO - History of Photography A1 - Dimock, G. SP - 65 EP - 74 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - In August 1924, Ramiel McGehee wrote to Edward Weston in Mexico City setting forth in explicit terms an opposition between the artist's calling and the norms of mainstream, American culture: The Puritan and the artist are, surely, incompatible- and it is useless to ask them to join forces. If only the Puritan will consent to leave the artist alone - as the artist leaves the Puritan alone - much good will be accomplished. But for the artist to bend his will to the Puritan would be to conunit suicide. © 2000 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
