    About the artist
    Frank A. Rinehart the photographer was an American artist famous for his photographs, drawings and paintings depicting native Americans. Rinehart's portraits are especially impressive as a departure from earlier, less sensitive photographs of Native Americans. Instead of being detached, ethnographic records, the Rinehart photographs are portraits of individuals with an emphasis on strength of expression. While Rinehart was not the first photographers to portray Indian subjects with such dignity, this large body of work which was widely seen and distributed may have had an important influence in changing subsequent portrayals of Native Americans.
