EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Sexton, Mr. standing outdoors, 1932 July 10," captures the essence of American masculinity during the 1930s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image features a man identified only as Mr. Sexton, standing confidently outdoors with a direct gaze towards the camera. The man wears a formal suit and dress shirt, complete with a tie and suspenders, suggesting a professional or affluent background. The balding man's serious expression and still posture exude an air of authority and maturity. The image was captured on a nitrate negative, a common photographic process of the time, and the high contrast between the man's dark clothing and the lighter outdoor background adds depth and texture to the image. The location remains undisclosed, but the rural setting and open sky suggest a sense of freedom and expansiveness. The photograph is a testament to the fashion trends of the era, with the man's suit and dress shirt reflecting the classic menswear styles of the 1930s. The monochromatic color palette, characteristic of photography, further emphasizes the timeless quality of the image. The Library of Congress holds this valuable piece of American heritage art in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the history and culture of the 20th century. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the evolution of fashion and societal norms over the decades.
