Quilcene Boy
Date1912
Maker
Edward S. Curtis
American, 1868-1952
Label TextThis striking image departs from the artistic mode of portrait photography and the scientific depictions of Native "types," both genres that appear in Curtis' body of work. There is a directness that seems largely initiated by his young subject.
