Legends in Photography: Major Works from the Museum’s Collection
September 12, 2009–January 31, 2010

This exhibition of more than sixty images gives insight into the depth and breadth of the MFA’s noted photography holdings. The photographs range from the early days of print photography, as in a 19th century salt print by Edouard Baldus, and classic western landscapes by William Henry Jackson and Carleton Watkins, to later 20th century color photographs by William Christenberry and Stephen Shore.

Most of the major figures in the history of the medium from 1900 to 1975 are represented, including Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Gertrude Käsebier, Paul Strand, Lewis Hine, Walker Evans, W. Eugene Smith, Berenice Abbott, Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstadt, Weegee, Barbara Morgan, Minor White, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan, Lucien Clergue, Diane Arbus, Gary Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Jerry Uelsmann. Some of the finest images produced by these pioneering artists are on view, reflecting the high quality of the MFA’s collection.
