This latest volume in the MFA Highlights series showcases over 100
stunning photographs from the museum's collection. An extensive
introductory essay traces the aesthetic and technical history of
photography as an art form, from the early days of the camera
obscura through the invention of the daguerreotype and calotype and
into the present digital age. In the selection of objects that
compose the body of this beautifully designed volume, careful
juxtapositions emphasize the graphic qualities of the photos, and
extended captions compare and contrast images from different times
and places, underscoring shared techniques, sensibilities or
subjects. A wide range of photographers--from early experimenters
such as Eugene Cuvelier, Charles Marville and Anna Atkins to modern
giants Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston, as well as
contemporary practitioners such as James Nachtwey, Hiroshi Sugimoto
and Loretta Lux--are represented by portraits and figure studies,
city scenes and still lifes, landscapes and seascapes.
