| Summary: | "Since photography's beginnings in the nineteenth century, the medium has constantly evolved--in its purpose, its audiences, its collectors, and especially the technology involved. This publication will explore photography's past and present transformations through thematic groupings drawn from the landmark collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Photographers included span the history of the medium, from early pioneers William Henry Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Lewis Hine, to fashion photographer Richard Avedon, twentieth-century giants James Van Der Zee and Dorothea Lange, and contemporary photographers Gohar Dashti, Alfredo Jaar, and Mickalene Thomas." -- Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. |
