'In Curtis' finest photographs, the object and image become a seamless and self-reinforcing whole, creating the potential for the viewer of a powerful, deeply felt experience.' –Christopher Cardozo, 'The Artistry of Edward S. Curtis', Edward S. Curtis: One Hundred Masterworks, Prestel, Munich, 2015, p. 7.
