BOSTON, MA - On November 19th, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), will open its first exhibition space permanently dedicated to photography. The gallery’s premiere exhibition, Photographic Figures, will be on view through May 10, 2009 in the Herb Ritts Gallery and the adjacent Clementine Haas Michel Brown Gallery. Artists have long taken advantage of the camera’s ability to capture expressive images of the human form, from straightforward documentation to poetic metaphor. This exhibition explores the diversity of these approaches by artists working with a camera.
