| Content | : | Renowned photographer and ethnographer Edward Sherriff Curtis created an irreplaceable record of more than eighty of North America’s native nations－a record first published between 1907 and 1930, which, after decades of obscurity in rare book rooms and private collections, is now experiencing its renaissance. This unique photographic exhibition explores the extraordinary diversity among Native American peoples, their culture and history, the diversity of American society, and the technical and aesthetic achievement of Edward S. Curtis. Those images are representative of the different cultural and geographic regions in which Curtis photographed and illustrate his artistry in portrait, landscape, and still life photography. These compelling works will be drawn from the archive and personal collection of Christopher Cardozo and the exhibition will be held from 9:00a.m. to 7:00p.m. during the period from April 11 to May 9, 2008 (except public holidays). |
