EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Jareski, Mr. 1916 Apr. 6," was created by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in the 1910s. The image captures a moment of confusion and contemplation on the face of an enigmatic figure named Jareski, as he stands in a full-length dress, with one hand on his head and the other arm outstretched, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps in the midst of a dance performance. The photograph, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, was taken during an era when gender roles and societal norms were undergoing significant shifts, making this image all the more intriguing. The glass negative, which showcases the stunning detail and contrast of the monochromatic image, transports us back to a time when the concept of cross-dressing was still a subject of curiosity and debate. Jareski's posture, with his slight tilt to the side and his tiptoe, suggests a sense of stillness and calm, despite the apparent confusion etched on his face. The image is a testament to the power of the performing arts to challenge conventions and provoke thought, making it an invaluable addition to the heritage of American art and culture.
