OPIS

At the turn of the century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952) started on his thirty-year project to produce a monumental study of North American Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out. With tireless personal commitment Curtis visited American Indian tribes from the Mexican border to the Bering Straits, gaining their confidence by his patience and sensitivity. This book includes a selection from The North American Indian, his photographic life’s work, which was originally published in 20 volumes between 1907 and 1930. Hans Christian Adam works as a photographic consultant and has published many articles and books on photography, including a monograph on Karl Blossfeldt.
