Intense, beautiful photograveures. Interesting time in the world. I want a JP Morgan to invest in me and my artwork.

I’ve been an Edward S. Curtis fan for a while. His photographs are breathtaking. It’s like your in the photograph. ❤️❤️

Photographic books featuring the works of Edward S. Curtis are consistently provocative based on the unique historical value of photos of the Native American. They may be appreciated to a greater extent after studying accurate U.S. history of the 1800's and early 1900's, or after reading books such as the Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher by Timothy Egan.

Haunting and evocative images of vanished (expelled, hunted down, and murdered) peoples and the stories behind them.
”What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night,
It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass
and loses itself in the sunset.”
-Crowfoot (Blackfeet), 1919

So beautiful...I think this book of Curtis' work was my favorite of several that I borrowed after reading the bio by Tim Egan.
