In het leven van Edward Weston
Het hele leven1935
From Carmel to Santa Monica Canyon
Facing mounting financial difficulties, Weston closes his studio in Carmel and moves to Santa Monica Canyon, California, where he opens a new studio with Brett.
August 1935
Charis Wilson agrees to live with him
Weston had implored Charis Wilson to come and live with him, and in August 1935 she finally agrees. Of all the women he has lived with since Flora, she is the first with no interest in becoming a photographer; this lets him concentrate on her as his muse and model, while Wilson devotes her time to promoting his art as his assistant and quasi-agent.
1937 · Onderscheiding
Guggenheim Fellowship
22 March 1937
News of the Guggenheim grant: two thousand dollars
On 22 March 1937 Weston learns he has been awarded a Guggenheim grant, the first ever given to a photographer: $2,000 for one year, a significant sum at the time. He capitalises on it further by arranging to supply the editor of AAA Westway Magazine with 8–10 photographs a month for $50 during their travels, with Wilson earning another $15 a month for captions and short narratives. They buy a new car and set out on Weston’s dream trip to photograph whatever he wants.
1937–1939
Nearly 1,400 negatives in two years on the fellowship
The first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship, he produces nearly 1,400 negatives over the next two years with his 8 × 10 view camera.
24 April 1939
Marries Charis Wilson
Finally relieved of past financial stress and inordinately happy with both his work and his relationship, Weston marries Wilson in a small ceremony on 24 April.
