Eloquent Nude is Portland filmmaker Ian McCluskey’s new film on the great American photographer Edward Weston. Emmy award-winning filmmaker McCluskey provides an inside look at the making of an American photography legend through the eyes of the now 92-year-old Charis Wilson. Only 19 when she met and fell in love with Weston, she became 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 setting off with his camera and her typewriter across the American West during the depths of the Great Depression to make photographic history.
