EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled 'Vares, Mr.' and created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on March 3, 1916, showcases the intensity and sophistication of a well-dressed American man of the 1910s. The subject wears a formal suit, complete with a starched collar and a neatly tied tie. His hair is slicked back, adding to the overall sense of polish and refinement. The image, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, was captured using a glass negative process, a common technique of the time. The monochromatic palette of the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The man's intense gaze and the stark contrast between the light and shadow in the photograph create a sense of stillness and depth. The image is a testament to the importance of fashion and personal presentation during this period in American history, and serves as a reminder of the heritage and artistry of portrait photography. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable clarity and sensitivity. This portrait of 'Vares, Mr.' is a prime example of his skill and artistry, and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and intrigue.
