EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Woman, half-length portrait, facing right, viewed from behind," was created by the renowned American photographer Adolph de Meyer between 1920 and 1930. The image showcases a woman in profile, dressed in an elegant and fashionable attire of the 1920s. Her back is exposed, revealing a backless dress adorned with intricate beading and fringes. She wears a headwrap or headdress, adding an exotic and alluring touch to her appearance. The woman's posture is confident and poised, with her right hand delicately placed on her hip. The portrait is a stunning example of the Art Deco style, which was popular during the 1920s and 1930s. The use of platinum prints during this period resulted in a high contrast, rich tonality, and exceptional detail, as seen in this photograph. The image exudes a sense of glamour and sophistication, transporting us back to an era of elegance and refinement. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress in the United States, showcasing the cultural heritage and history of the 20th century. The Library of Congress is a vital resource for researchers, historians, and art enthusiasts, providing access to a vast array of materials, including photographs, manuscripts, prints, and recordings. Adolph de Meyer was a prolific and influential photographer, known for his portraits of high society figures, celebrities, and fashion models. Born in Germany, he moved to the United States in 1907 and became a naturalized American citizen in 1927. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide and is considered an important contribution to the history of photography.
