EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe on June 14, 1931, showcases the timeless beauty of Paul Manship's "Statue" in the serene surroundings of the Griffin or Nissen Garden. The image transports us back to the 1930s in the United States, a decade marked by change and progress. Manship's sculpture, a graceful figure of a woman in a contemplative posture, stands proudly atop a symmetrical plinth. The statue's intricate details and elegant form are accentuated by the contrast between the dark garden and the light, almost ethereal, figure. The woman's kneeling position invites introspection and a sense of quiet reflection. The garden, with its lush greenery and ornate features, provides a picturesque backdrop for the statue. The garden's name, Griffin or Nissen, adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The photograph, taken with a nitrate negative, captures the garden's symmetrical design and the statue's striking presence with exceptional clarity. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, expertly captures the essence of this garden feature, showcasing the harmony between the human form and the natural world. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of art and the beauty of our heritage. This photograph, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage images, art, or American history. It invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, the beauty of nature, and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
