July – December 2025

Between 1899 -1910, famed Western artist, Joseph Henry Sharp spent his fall and winter months on the Crow Reservation in southeastern Montana. Here, he developed thousands of photographs to use as references for his paintings. Sharp used his camera to lay the groundwork for his painterly compositions, actively posing his subjects and himself to capture magnetic portraits and scenes from everyday life. This collection of 25 images highlight his skill behind the lens.
