Between 1946 and 1948, encouraged by Kodak’s new color transparency films, Weston created about sixty 8×10 color images, most along the California coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003eTexts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTerence Pitts, 'Edward Weston: Color Photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003eEdward Weston: 'Color as Form' (1953)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNancy Newhall comments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"498\"\u003eThe 1986 Publication: \u003cem data-start=\"462\" data-end=\"496\"\u003eEdward Weston: Color Photography\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"745\"\u003ePublished by the Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, in 1986, this volume reproduces thirty-two of those rare works, showing how Weston introduced color into his ideas about form, texture, and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"780\"\u003eSubtle Use of Color and Form\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUnlike some photographers in the late 1940s who were exploring the possibilities of color for commercial or expressive purposes, Weston approached color with remarkable subtlety.
