Quoting Edward Weston

I have been photographing our toilet, that glossy enameled receptacle of extraordinary beauty … . Here was every sensuous curve of the “human figure divine” but minus the imperfections. Never did the Greeks reach a more significant consummation to their culture, and it somehow reminded me, forward movement of finely progressing contours, of the Victory of Samothrace.
