Professor emerita Barbara Bosworth’s exhibit, “The Meadow,” is now on display at the MFA. It contains only 17 photographs of a meadow in Carlisle, Massachusetts, that she shot over a number of years. But “that might be just as well,” says The Boston Globe. “The photographs are so beautiful in their understated way that any more than that might seem overwhelming.”
