by Christopher Cardozo
Hardcover 128 pages (C) 2005
100 four-color photographs
From the front dust jacket::
"Beginning at the dawn of the twentieth century, Edward S. Curtis devoted thirty years of his life to creating the most comprehensive photographic record of the Native peoples of North America. The iconic Curtis images that are most frequently reproduced tend to be of tribal chiefs and warriors. Far less familiar to most people are his many portraits and landscapes featuring Native American women - remarkably, this new collection is the first to focus exclusively on his female portraits."
From the Forward by Louise Erdich:
"Curtis mastered the art of making his subject so dimensional, so present, so complete, that it is to me as though I am looking at the women through a window, as though they are really there in the print and in the paper, looking back at me. This is the genius and the gift of the work." $35.00
