"(68)
"Weston’s fascination with the big, empty B.C. landscape with its awe-inspiring views and clean, crisp light is conveyed most impressively in his huge paintings of mountain peaks. The small accompanying drawings in black and white chalk show how carefully each painting was planned and designed." (69)
