abstract: "MFA Highlights: Photography showcases more than one hundred important photographs from the MFA'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 works that compose the body of this beautifully designed volume, careful juxtapositions emphasize the graphic qualities of the photographs, 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, Man Ray, and Josef Sudek, as well as contemporary practitioners such as Joel Meyerowitz, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Loretta Lux - are represented by portraits and figure studies, city views and still lifes, landscapes and seascapes."--BOOK JACKET.
