EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Frank Hamilton Cushing, a prominent American anthropologist and ethnologist in the late 19th century. Taken by renowned artist Thomas Eakins in 1895, this portrait showcases Cushing's profound pride and connection to his Native American heritage. Cushing stands tall, dressed in traditional clothing that reflects his Zuni roots. His profile is captured with meticulous detail, emphasizing his strong features and deep sense of wisdom. The photographic negative on glass plate adds an authentic touch to this historical image. Eakins skillfully portrays Cushing as a symbol of knowledge and education within scientific institutions like the Smithsonian Institution. This photograph serves as a testament to Cushing's groundbreaking work in anthropology, highlighting his dedication to understanding indigenous cultures across America. Displayed at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, this piece not only celebrates Cushing's contributions but also pays homage to Eakins' artistic brilliance. The contrast between light and shadow creates a striking visual impact that draws viewers into the depth of Cushing's character. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage while embracing progress. Through their collaboration, Eakins immortalizes both Frank Hamilton Cushing's legacy as an influential figure in American history and his own mastery as an artist capturing moments frozen in time for generations to come.
