EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on March 15, 1918, captures the striking image of Lieutenant Henri Farre, a French aviator and painter. Farre's rugged features and thick beard are accentuated by his aviator cap and the various military decorations adorning his uniform. The Croix de Guerre and Legion of Honor medals, pinned to his chest, attest to his bravery and service during the First World War. Henri Farre was a man of many talents, splitting his time between the cockpit and the canvas. His artistic abilities are evident in the way he is depicted in this portrait, with a thoughtful and introspective expression. The glass negative captures the intricate details of his uniform, from the stripes on his sleeves to the distinctive kepi on his head. The photograph is a testament to the era's fashion trends, with the high-collared shirt, dress pants, and leather flight jacket all typical of the military uniforms of the time. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection, providing a glimpse into the lives of those who served during the 1910s, a decade marked by war and change. This portrait of Henri Farre was taken during a time when aviation was still a relatively new technology, and the world was in the midst of a global conflict. The photograph serves as a reminder of the courage and determination of those who served during the First World War, and the enduring legacy of the arts and aviation industries.
