This Tuesday at 8 pm PST (April 13,2010) Ovation TV will air "The Eloquent Nude", a hour long documentary on Edward Weston and Charis Wilson.
She was beautiful, smart, and searching. He was an emerging genius in the world of photography. When they met, they fell instantly in love. Setting off across the West with camera and typewriter in the depths of the Great Depression, Charis Wilson and Edward Weston transformed photography, and each other. Now age 90, Charis Wilson recounts her years with Weston with great humor, candor, and some regret. She recalls the adventure they set out on and collaborations with photographer Ansel Adams. Combining insight from leading scholars, rare archival images, and convincingly authentic reenactments, Eloquent Nude presents a remarkable true story of love and loss, travel and adventure, and an intimate look at the making of Modern photography.The documentary will be rebroadcast on April 14th, May 3rd,8th and 9th. Check here for airtime.
