DESCRIPTION:
"Glorious Windows into a Time Lost" according to Wren. Photography is about capturing light. The way light comes to life in these photographs, and dances over and through the subjects, is truly mesmerizing. Edward S. Curtis was undeniably an artist, and he left for his fellow mankind a wonderful gift. We benefit through his sight and likewise, his INsight. With the recognition of what was quickly vanishing, even as he strove to visually preserve it, Curtis dedicated his life to telling a story. One very true and also very sad due to its cessation.Although certainly he achieved fame, his name is not as well known as it deserves to be. Just a. Five Stars Amazon Customer Thanks. "Photos plus context make this book a winner!" according to Desert Mambo. I bought this book as a gift for my mother, who is a rather uncritical fan of the Edward Curtis' photos of Native Americans. And the photos included in this book are what you'd expect: the haunting, evocative images that Curtis is famous for.Of course, many of his photos were staged, and Curtis philosophy behind the photos--that Native peoples were a "dying race" that he needed to memorialize--is problematic, and it's always made me feel uncomfortable with the photos, even as I see the beauty in them. Still, the book was a gift, so I wasn't really expecting a critical analysis of Curtis
