Weston and Charlot: Art and Friendship by Lew Andrews (review)
Edward Weston and Jean Charlot were part of the astonishing group of foreign artists and intellectuals who flocked to Mexico City in the 1920s and 1930s, drawn in part by a fascination with the Mexican Revolution and with the explosion of artistic activity that followed it. In Mexico, Weston and Charlot found themselves in the company of an international group that included Tina Modotti, Anita Brenner, Frances Toor, and Sergei Eisenstein, not to mention national artists like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.
