[Leica] Marialuisa Morando - $1900

[walt at waltjohnson.com (Walt Johnson)]

George:

I've had the opportunity to see many of Edward Weston's original prints 
and I can guarantee Ms. Morando ain't even close. My remark about B.D. 
was in reply to Adam's mentioning it in his post. Languid, dreamy, 
etc.... :-)   My point was B.D (to me at least) is a far more advanced 
visionary than Morando.
