Edward Weston :: Bedpan, 1930 / more [+] by this photographer
“Weston adopted the “form follows function” dictum, originally coined by the modern American architect Louis Sullivan as his own credo in the mid-1920′s and spent the remainder of his career extracting the essential structure of objects before his camera. Like other modernist photographers such as Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy, his work proved that the formal character of the photograph could override the content, but, unlike them, he preferred to use recognizable, everyday objects from the natural and industrial world to assert his claim.”/ src: Metropolitan Museum
