ELOQUENT NUDE: THE LOVE AND LEGACY OF EDWARD WESTON AND CHARIS WILSON
**********************************************************************

The first documentary in over 40 years on the great American  
photographer Edward Weston and his wife, model, and collaborator  
Charis Wilson has been two years in the making and is anxiously  
anticipated by Portland?s fine arts community.

Emmy award-winning filmmaker, Ian McCluskey, tells the compelling  
story, providing an inside look at the making of an American  
photography legacy through the eyes of Wilson, now 92 years old.

?Eloquent Nude? follows one of the great creative partnerships of the  
20th Century.  Only 19 when they met and fell in love, Wilson would be  
his model, lover, artistic collaborator and eventually his wife.  She  
would help apply for and help Weston receive the first Guggenheim  
Grant awarded to a photographer.  Together they set off with a camera  
and typewriter across the American West during the depths of the Great  
Depression.

NW Documentary, Portland Art Museum, Portland Photo Council, NW Film  
Center, Pro-Photo Supply and the Regional Arts and Culture Council  
proudly present the March 8th premiere.
