Item Description
Alice F. Weston is a nationally renowned photographer and environmental artist. Her works include: Great Houses of the Queen City (text by Walter E. Langsam); Silent Testimony, an exhibition of the culture of Ohio's mound builders which traveled throughout the state and is on permanent view at the Cincinnati Museum Center and An Arc Ascending, a collaboration between Alice and internationally recognized composer Gunther Schuller, who used Alice Weston's hauntingly beautiful photographs of the season's solstices as inspiration for this tone poem, which the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra premiered in 1996. Her emphasis on revealing the hidden aspects of both the natural and man-made world has formed the basis of several multi-media collaborations with various arts organizations including the Contemporary Arts Center, the Cincinnati Ballet Company (Et Cetera, 1973), the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (Pelleas and Melisande, 1964), and the Cincinnati Art Museum (Inner Journey, 1987-1989). Her work depicts an intense intelligence as well as a unique ability to see perspectives that the human eye often overlooks. With degrees from Vassar College and the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning at the University of Cincinnati, Mrs. Weston possesses the knowledge and desire to protect and preserve the ecological and sociological treasures of the past and the vision and creativity to support and seek out the resources and beauty of the future.
