Photography
 
Photography at the JSMA began in 1965 with an acquisition of prints by American photographer Edward Weston. Work by Wynn Bullock, Paul Caponigro, Imogen Cunningham, Brett Weston and Minor White soon followed. Since then the collection has grown in depth and diversity. Historical photographic processes are represented by vernacular tintypes and daguerreotypes as well as 19th century cliché-verre by French artist Corot. SX-70 Polaroid prints by Andy Warhol and chlorophyll photographs by Binh Danh offer a range of portraiture distinctly marking their place in time. Work by Bill Brandt, Brassai and Frederick Evans connect the collection to modern Europe. New acquisitions by photographers Elsa Mora, Taitiana Parcero, Yu Hang and Yang Yongliang extend the collection’s reach into contemporary Latin America and Asia.
