The gallery presents Rediscovering the Photographic Works of Edward S. Curtis, an exhibition of the photographer of the American West. The show includes work from every photographic medium Curtis worked in as well as the never-before-exhibited copper photogravure printing plates from The North American Indian.
The work of Edward S. Curtis represents a document of a people. He was the first photographer to meet his American Indian subjects on a ground defined by mutual trust and respect; the first photographer to portray them as anything other than objects of curiosity. He was able to create, out of whole cloth, a lasting vision of the American Indian. He produced images that not only record real daily activity, but also convey a dignity, universal humanity and majesty.
