About the Artist | (1909 - 1998) Senator Barry Goldwater's portraits of Navajo people, which date back to the 1930's have been published in issues of the Arizona Highways magazine and in his book, Face of Arizona. Goldwater's images provide a historical glimpse at what has long been the second most popular genre (after landscape) of photography in Arizona--cultural portraiture. They represent the long-standing tradition of photographers such as Timothy O'Sullivan, Edward Curtis, Adam Clarke Vroman and many others depicting American Indian people sympathetically within the backdrop of their own culture and landscape. |
