East Wing, Photography Galleries

The American Indian Image: Photographs by Edward S. Curtis and Zig Jackson features the efforts of two gifted photographers working nearly a century apart and from very different cultural perspectives. Created by an outsider, Curtis's historic romanticized images were based on the prevailing belief that indigenous people were exotic species doomed to extinction. The straightforward, observant pictures created during the past two decades by Jackson, an American Indian, present the world of contemporary Indians, one still very much in existence. The show was organized to complement Art of the American Indians: The Thaw Collection.
