Historical captures<\/p>\n
Opening Saturday at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg,\u00a0A Terrible Beauty: Photographers Amid Chaos is an exhibition of historical photography, drawn from the museum\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n
These are documentary photographs. Here\u2019s a section of the museum\u2019s exhibit description, which sums it up beautifully: \u201cBy negotiating the tense boundary between raw documentary purpose and deliberate artistic expression, the featured photographers capture the ultimate gravity of unsettling and complex subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n
