Edward Weston The artwork I am looking at is called Pepper 1927 and it is a Black and White Photograph The main subject is still life of a pepper standing up The colours are Monochrome, Black and white and they include the whole tonal range from black to white. The shapes are organic and flowing and the textures are smooth. The forms are almost figurative like a persons back I think the work is about nature and the similarities of beauty in all living things. It seems the artist is interested in showing the realism of a pepper by transforming it into a sculpture This piece of work makes me feel calm and intrigued. If they had wanted to show a different feeling they could of done this by changing the lighting The artist seems to have worked from observation, I think this because it is very realistic I think the artist….(planned the work carefully before they started because the lighting has been well thought through to show the qualities of the pepper. You can see evidence of skill in the use of the sharp focus on the whole pepper and the subtle lighting effects.
