Curtis: One Hundred Masterworks: 9783791354217: Cardozo, Christopher, Coleman, A.D., Jolly, Eric, Tobias, Michael, Erdrich, Louise: Books Review: One of the best and most important books of photography on Native Americans in many decades! Absolute must read! - This is without doubt the most important photographic book to be published in many years. Cardozo is the ultimate curator and his book an illuminating gift to this and future generations. Each of the essays by several world class notable scholar/artists is immensely helpful. I was especially moved by Dr. Michael Charles Tobias' crisp, brilliantly insightful essay on Curtis as the veritable father of America's environmental social justice movement. I have never heard that articulated before. And, once stated, it becomes absolutely obvious. No wonder Curtis initially meant to title his massive oeuvre (The North American Indian, instead, The Vanishing Race). That poignancy strikes at the heart of the ecological ethics upon which Tobias masterfully elaborates in the context of the Constitution and legislative initiatives to liberate African Americans and Native Americans before, during and after the life and death of President Lincoln. Moreover, Tobias' statement that Curtis was the "Rembrandt van Rijn of Native American portrait photography" truly chimed with my own sense of Curtis' genius. Says Tobias in the book, "Like Rembrandt, whose courage emerged as he himself aged and was resolved to show what it was like to be a real human being, Curtis photographed the reality of Native American life." This says it all, and comports beautifully with Cardozo's Introduction in which he notes, "It is not unprecedented, whether in this country or internationally, to see people at exhibitions moved to tears while looking at his [Curtis'] photographs." With wonderful additional essays by A.D.Coleman, Louise Erdrich and Eric J. Jolly, Christopher Cardozo's Edward S. Curtis: One Hundred Masterworks, is a mind-boggling tribute to the fact that art can save life; that the vision and pertinacity of one individual (aided, of course, by the funding from J. P. Morgan) can truly make all the difference in this world. Curtis was an absolute genius. Christopher Cardozo must be one of Curtis' long-lost relatives, given the deeply abiding spiritual connection between these two giants of culture, North American history, and aesthetics.
