2004 Native Americans and Photography Symposium Lee Marmon Session 2

Marmon looks at selected works by Edward Curtis taken at Zuni, Acoma, and Hopi. He examines issues of staging and dress and discusses how the persistent view of Native Americans as promoted in such images has affected both the viewing public and Indian peoples' own perceptions concerning the constitutionality of "Indianness." Marmon then talks about his personal aesthetic in which he seeks to present his subjects simply "as not anything than themselves." Finally, he discusses the story and circumstances behind his most famous work, "White Man's Moccasins," highlighting the importance of humor and the historical significance of all such work. Lee Marmon (Laguna) started his photographic career after returning from World War II and has spent the last 50 years documenting his world. He specializes in landscape, portrait, advertising, and publicity photography. His work has been widely published in Time, the New York Times Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, the Los Angeles Times, and New Mexico Magazine. He is a member of the American Society of Media Photographers, Native American Journalist Association, and the Native Indian/Innuit Photographers’ Association. His work has been exhibited extensively. His first book, “The Pueblo Imagination: Landscape and Memory in the Photography of Lee Marmon” was recently published.
