《认可的火焰》出版六十年后，它继续为读者提供无与伦比的洞察力，让我们了解二十世纪偶像的思想、生活和工作。这本经典专著于 1965 年首次以精装本形式发行，1958 年作为《光圈》杂志的专刊问世。 《认知之火》借鉴了这位摄影师与《光圈》联合创始人兼现代艺术博物馆馆长南希·纽霍尔数十年的合作，汇集了一系列韦斯顿作品中的图片和摘录，力图引导这位摄影师的创造力，用他自己的话说，“用摄影之美清楚地表达了我对生活的感受……在精神或技巧上毫不掩饰或逃避。”

2015 年，Aperture 在该书出版五十周年之际重新发行了这本书，十年后，Aperture 很高兴以优雅的平装版推出六十周年纪念版。《认可的火焰》涵盖了韦斯顿最伟大的作品，从肖像和裸体到风景和静物。伴随和扩展图像的是韦斯顿自己的想法，摘录自他现在著名的日记和信件。其他为制作这本书做出贡献的人包括艺术家的两个儿子布雷特和科尔，以及另外两位Aperture联合创始人，电影制片人兼作家多迪韦斯顿汤普森和安塞尔亚当斯，他们的前言对这位杰出艺术家的全部作品进行了追悼。简短的参考书目和年表进一步深入了解了这位二十世纪摄影巨匠的生活和工作。

Sixty years after its publication, The Flame of Recognition continues to offer unmatched insight into the mind, life, and work of a twentieth-century icon.This classic monograph, first issued as a hardcover volume in 1965, began its life in 1958 as a monographic issue of Aperture magazine. Drawing on a decades-long collaboration between the photographer and Nancy Newhall, Aperture cofounder and Museum of Modern Art curator, The Flame of Recognition brings together a sequence of images and excerpts from Weston's writing in an effort to channel the photographer's creativity and, in his own words, "present clearly my feeling for life with photographic beauty . . . without subterfuge or evasion in spirit or technique."

In 2015, Aperture reissued the book on its fiftieth anniversary, and ten years later Aperture is pleased to present the sixtieth anniversary edition in an elegant paperback edition. The Flame of Recognition covers the range of Weston's greatest works, from the portraits and nudes to the landscapes and still lifes. Accompanying and amplifying the images are Weston's own thoughts, excerpted from his now-famed Daybooks and letters. Others who contributed to the making of the book include two of the artist's sons, Brett and Cole, and two other Aperture cofounders, filmmaker and author Dody Weston Thompson and Ansel Adams, whose preface offers a posthumous tribute to the oeuvre of a remarkable artist. A brief bibliography as well as a chronology offer further insight into the life and work of this giant of twentieth-century photography.

爱德华·韦斯顿（1886-1958 年；生于伊利诺伊州高地公园；卒于加利福尼亚州卡梅尔）于 1911 年开始因其肖像作品而获得国际声誉。从 1923 年到 1926 年，他越来越多地拍摄裸体、云朵以及岩石、树木、蔬菜和贝壳的特写等主题。韦斯顿是 f/64 小组的创始成员，该小组以使用大画幅相机、小镜头光圈和接触式印刷而闻名，其目标是在当时将摄影提升为一门高超的艺术，而当时摄影仅被视为一种记录形式。1937 年至 1939 年，他获得古根海姆奖学金，与他的写作伙伴兼灵感女神查理斯·威尔逊一起在美国西部各地拍照。1948 年，几年前患上帕金森病的韦斯顿拍摄了他的最后一张照片。他的日记记录了他作为一名摄影师的生活，于 20 世纪 60 年代出版。

南希·纽霍尔 (Nancy Newhall)是纽约现代艺术博物馆的摄影史学家、作家和摄影代理策展人，曾于 1942 年至 1946 年期间组织了韦斯顿作品的大型回顾展。她于 1952 年帮助共同创立了 Aperture。

安塞尔·亚当斯 (Ansel Adams)是一位标志性的美国摄影师和环保主义者，以令人惊叹的美国西部黑白照片而闻名。亚当斯是 Group f/64 和 Aperture 的联合创始人。

Edward Weston (1886-1958; born in Highland Park, Illinois; died in Carmel, California) began to earn an international reputation for his portrait work in 1911. From 1923 to 1926 he turned increasingly to subjects such as nudes, clouds, and close-ups of rocks, trees, vegetables, and shells. Weston was a founding member of Group f/64, best known for their use of the large-format view camera, small-lens aperture, and contact printing, and for the goal of elevating photography to a high art at a time when it was only considered a form of documentation. On a Guggenheim Fellowship from 1937 to 1939, he photographed throughout the American West with Charis Wilson, his writing partner and muse. In 1948, Weston, who had been stricken with Parkinson's disease several years earlier, made his last photograph. His Daybooks, records of his life as a photographer, were published in the 1960s.

Nancy Newhall was a photo historian, writer, and acting curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from 1942 to 1946, where she organized a major retrospective of Weston's work. She helped cofound Aperture in 1952.

Ansel Adams was an iconic American photographer and environmentalist known for his awe-inspiring black-and-white photographs of the American West. Adams was a cofounder of Group f/64 and Aperture.
