In honor of Edward Curtis' photographs of "The Native Americans"

At both solo shows this past year, Forrest exhibited new Monochrome oil paintings in his series, honoring Edward S. Curtis' remarkable Native American photographs (1909 -  1930).  Curtis documented what remained of the surviving Native American tribes on silver plate and other photographs (from the U.S. Library of Congress' Curtis collection).
