Reviews of Chapalingas (Steidl, 2003)
Vince Aletti in Photograph magazine:
“The first comprehensive overview of Rosalind Solomon's work
is a moving record of a 30-year journey of discovery by a photographer
whose commitment to her own flinty, humanist vision places her,
as Ingrid Sischy writes in the introduction, among an 'endangered
species.' Organized poetically, Solomon's book embraces her subjects
with unusual warmth—a combination of candor, curiosity, concern,
and almost helpless yearning.”

Peter Galassi — commenting on Rosalind Solomon
in her solo exhibit Ritual at the Museum of Modern Art, 1986:
“For Solomon, the extravagant public theatre of ritual is
an expression of private feelings and struggles, which she invites
— or compels — the viewer to share. Her ability to do
so depends on the keenness of her perceptions and the relentless
clarity and detail with which she records them.”
