Cole Weston, a renowned photographer who maintained the legacy of his father's photographic work, has died in Monterey. Weston, who died Sunday, was 84 and had been in failing health for some time. He spent much of his career as an assistant to his father, photographer Edward Weston, then as his master printer and executor of his estate.
"He will be remembered as the person responsible for maintaining the legacy and extending the influence of Edward's work," said Robert Sobieszek, head photo curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Cole Weston worked a variety of odd jobs, including a stint at Lockheed Aircraft, before becoming a photographer himself. During World War II he joined the Navy, where he did public relations work before taking a job as a Life magazine photographer. Around 1948, Eastman Kodak started sending color film to Edward Weston, who didn't use it because of failing health. Instead, Cole Weston began experimenting with color and eventually became one of the world's masters at color photography.
Cole Weston, who married and divorced four times, continued to publish and teach until his death. He's survived by four sons, two daughters and nine grandchildren. A fifth son died in 1971. He was the fourth of Edward Weston's four sons, and the last to die.
