Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Set includes "Loitering at the Spring" (portfolio, plate 400), "Gossip at the Water-Hole (facing page 18), and "East Mesa Girls" (portfolio, plate 427). All are printed on double weight, luster surface silver gelatin paper and measure 8.5 x 6.5 inches, including margins. Untoned with glossy surface. No copyrights are visible. Good to very good condition. Each photo has a slight inward bend and writing in both pen and pencil on verso. "Loitering at the Spring" has chipping to two corners; one inch closed tear to left side; minor creasing. "Gossip at the Water-Hole" has two tiny pen marks on recto and minor creasing to corners. "East Mesa Girls" has chipping to upper left corner and minor creasing. Images are a bit washed out, but the subjects are in very clear focus. The provenance of this photograph is the Edward S. Curtis Gallery in McCloud, California. Edward Curtis (1868-1952) was an acclaimed photographer and ethnologist who undertook one of the most ambitious anthropological projects ever attempted. After participating in the 1899 Harriman expedition to Alaska, Curtis came up with his "Great Idea": to record the traditional culture and lifestyle of North America's indigenous inhabitants before those old ways disappeared. Between 1900 and 1930, Curtis traveled the continent and produced a 20-volume set of books that document the stories, languages, and rituals of over 80 tribes. The project received funding from J.P. Morgan, and was supported by luminaries such as President Theodore Roosevelt, but it took a massive toll on Curtis' health, finances, and home life. Many consider The North American Indian a singular achievement, a publishing masterpiece, and an invaluable historical resource. However, Curtis has also been criticized for staging his subjects and manipulating certain photos, resulting in a romanticized view of North America's native peoples. It remains open for debate the exact mixture of art and documentation in Curtis' images, but the emotional impact of his best work is undeniable. As N. Scott Momaday wrote in Sacred Legacy, "Never before have we seen the Indians of North America so close to the origins of their humanity, their sense of themselves in the world, their innate dignity and self-possession." These three images all depict six young Hopi women with their hair styled in the iconic squash blossom whorls. All images appear in The North American Indian Vol. 12. Includes a certificate of authenticity from the Edward S. Curtis Gallery for "Loitering at the Spring," dated 2016.…
