EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Madeline Kelly, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917. The image, titled "Kelly, Madeline, Miss," showcases the young woman in a casual yet sophisticated setting, dressed in a cozy bathrobe, her hair styled in an elegant updo. The hairstyle, with its intricate braids and meticulously pinned curls, speaks to the fashion trends of the era, while her haughty expression and proud posture suggest a sense of pride and self-assuredness. The photograph was captured during the 1910s, a time of great social and cultural change in America. The image's monochromatic palette, achieved through the use of glass negatives, adds to the timeless quality of the portrait, transporting us back to a bygone era. The location of the shoot is unknown, but the image's composition, with Madeline looking away from the camera, invites the viewer to imagine the story behind her gaze. As a key figure in American photography during the early 20th century, Arnold Genthe's work is an invaluable contribution to the heritage of visual art. This portrait of Madeline Kelly is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and the era in which they lived. The Library of Congress holds this image as part of its vast collection, making it accessible for future generations to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of this remarkable photograph.
