Edward S Curtis (1868-1952) Shijako – Pima, 1907
-
Description
Edward S Curtis (1868-1952)
Title: Shijako – Pima
Plate: 47
Portfolio: Volume 2
Printer: John Andrew & Son
Medium: Photogravure
Date: 1907
A truly compelling portrait, this image captures a member of the Pima tribe, known today as the Akimel O'odham, indigenous to the Gila River region in Arizona.
The deep-set gaze of Chijako, which is neither confrontational nor passive, creates an immediate and intimate connection with us as the viewer, in which he conveys a quiet strength, a sense of lived experience, and an unspoken narrative shaped by history and tradition.
Self-taught in both photography and photoengraving, Curtis’ legacy continues to be recognised by individual collectors and major institutions, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
