The Getty Center has two great shows up dealing with landscape photography. One exhibition, drawn exclusively from the Getty Museum's collection, brings together the work of more than 25 innovative photographers who have left their mark on the history of the genre. California's first great artist was a photographer -- Carleton Watkins, who worked throughout the West in the mid-19th century. His work blossomed into maturity in the 1860s, with big images that evoked not just paintings but also the immensity of the Western landscape. This image of Three Brothers peak is included in an exhibit at the Getty Museum, "Dialogue Among Giants: Carelton Watkins and the Rise of Photography in California."
