hardcover w/ dj. Condition: Sehr gut. 144 Seiten Very good, clean copy - North America's west- ern frontier passed into history at the turn of the century, professional photographers-along with tourists, artists, playwrights, novelists, and pioneers of the fledgling movie industry-became fascinated with the Native Americans whose lands and cultures were being dismantled. The First Americans: Photographs from the Library of Congress surveys the remarkable range of these photographers' work, filed for copyright at the nation's library between the Gilded Age and the Great Depression. - - From Edward S. Curtis' renowned sepia-toned portraits to Adam Clark Vroman's intriguing glimpses of the sacred Hopi Snake Dance, these images share one trait-they were meant to be sold to publishers of books and magazines, to tourists in curio shops, and to art lovers in photographic studios. Shaped by the marketplace, they constitute a fascinating account of how an earlier American generation wanted to perceive native culture. - - Dr. William H. Goetzmann, a Pulitzer Prize- winning authority on Western art and history, in- troduces The First Americans with a provocative account of the illusions, contradictions, and ironies which have characterized attitudes toward Native Americans since the time of Columbus. Tracing the development of these attitudes in Victorian and modern American popular art, he brilliantly redefines the nature and limits of the photograph as cultural and social document. - - The photographers described by Goetzmann in his text and detailed captions are an uncommon- ly varied group, a cross-section of society at the turn of the century. Edward Curtis conducted his immense survey of North American tribes with the support of men like Theodore Roosevelt (.) - ISBN 9780912347967 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 878.…
