A Great Gift

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston recently received a gift of 6,000 photographs taken by famed photographers Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and Imogen Cunningham. Several works of art were also part of the gift donated by Saundra Lane. If you wish to learn more about the donation and its donor, click here for a New York Times article.

Most people are familiar with the work of Weston and Adams, but Imogen Cunningham is a little less well known. You can see her works here and here.

The donation of Saundra Lane greatly expands the MFA's photography collection (from 9,000 items to 15,000).
