Footnotes

Note
Robert Heinecken was invited by Polaroid to trial its new 20" x 24" large-format camera. Inspired by the photograms of Man Ray and Moholy-Nagy, Heinecken set about creating his own, very distinct studies, the result of arranging various foodstuffs, sourced from the MFA Museum and MFA School's cafés, on a Plexiglas tray which was then placed on film and exposed.
