MFA Boston: Herb Ritts (1952-2002)
Photographic Figures

Herb Ritts

The first permanently dedicated gallery to photography at the Boston MFA, with an exhibition exploring the enormous and stimulating diversity of these approaches. Nudes, facial close-ups, and figural groups range from the personal modernist viewpoint of Alfred Stieglitz to the surrealist poetry of Man Ray, from the searing photojournalism of James Nachtwey to the witty visual play of Lee Friedlander, and from the celebrity culture of Herb Ritts to the cycle-of-life ruminations of Dieter Appelt.” Boston MFA. Through May 10, 2009
