A graphic representation based on a circa 1400 Hopi Pueblo bowl symbol depicting Parrots. This is one of the images I will be publishing within the "Curtis Modern" book I am working on a 2024 release. https://www.dalewilliamneal.com/edward-curtis.html
This photo was taken by Edward Curtis in 1910. Titled, At the water's edge - Piegan. It was taken in Montana. The people in the image are from the Piegan Nation, an Algonquian-speaking people from the North American Great Plains. They were the largest of three Blackfoot-speaking groups that made up the Blackfoot Confederacy; the Siksika and Kainai were the others. The Piegan dominated much of the northern Great Plains during the nineteenth century. This is the third preview image from my book project. Learn more.
Image release 2, from my upcoming book Curtis Modern. I will publish one or two images a month as I continue work on completing the project.
In 2024, I plan to publish a 300 plus page volume containing nearly 400 images taken by Edward Curtis, Curtis Modern. During his over three-decade endeavor crossing western North America in the early 1900's he took 40,000 images of thirty First Peoples Nations. The quality of these images stands up against any of his peers in the dawning of the modern photographic movement.
I have spent the past three years editing and digitally restoring over 300 images from the Library of Congress, Morgan Library and Getty Museum collections. As I continue my work to complete the project, I will begin releasing one or two images a month so you can get a small taste of what I have discovered. Enjoy. Architectural details from the Nazrid Palace in the Alhambra, Granada, Spain. A little "take" on Dave Brubeck. My parents took me to see him when I was just a little kid back in the late 1960's, Albany, NY. It left an impression I still have with me. Paper collage on board.
In 2012, the first Richmond, Virginia Street Art Festival made a home at the Haxall Canal Power Plant for giant murals from some of street art’s biggest names like Pose, Hense, and Jeff Soto. 2022 marked the 5th edition of the festival, a return to it’s birthplace on the Haxall Canal. This book covers the place and event in a series of 160 images of the artists, the work from both 2012 and 2022, and the appreciative public.
