Eloquent Nude: The Love and Legacy of Edward Weston & Charis Wilson is an award-winning 2007 documentary following the life of Charis Wilson, a free-spirited Californian who modeled for and fell in love with photographer Edward Weston in 1934. A 90-year-old Wilson offers frank and opinionated reflections on the experience, letting viewers in on adventurous cross-country travels, the ways she and Weston transformed each other and the many iconic photographs they made together. A rare showing of the film will be followed by a discussion with Lily Herne and Chipper Bixby, who are models for the Lamar Dodd School of Art, as well as Herne’s longtime photographer Hal York. The event will culminate in a Dreamlily concert, which is Herne’s dream rock musical project, much of which is dreamed up during her long hours spent posing for art.
