Photographers of Genius at the Getty
UNITED STATES LOS ANGELES • J. Paul Getty Museum • Ongoing |
 |
Celebrating 20 years of collecting rare photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum, this exhibition focuses on 38 photographers who created exceptionally enduring pictures. Selected from the more than 600 photographers represented by in-depth holdings at the Museum, each photographer of genius created a body of work that was ahead of its time and exerted a profound influence on both contemporaries and successors. The innovative pioneers presented here span 150 years, from the early 1800s to the mid-1900s. They advanced the art of photography and, in the process, changed the history of art.
