America's pioneer photographer comes to MFA

Writing in the Los Angeles Times in 1927, a noted critic proclaimed photography "the new art of the 20th century" and Edward Weston among its "few unquestioned masters." Weston (1886-1958), whose astoundingly beautiful pictures are being shown at the MFA from March 19th to May 29th, was both a pioneer of modern photography and one of the first photographers to be acclaimed as a great American artist.
