EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Phyllis Pierce, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in his studio in the 1920s. The image, dated 1926, showcases Phyllis in an unconventional pose, with her arms raised and tiptoeing, as if inviting the viewer to join her in a dance or to uncover a hidden secret. The use of a veil adds an air of mystery and allure, while the stark contrast of the white background and Phyllis's naked form creates a powerful visual impact. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, was known for his innovative and daring approach to the medium. His work often featured artists' models in unconventional poses and settings, challenging the norms of the time. This portrait of Phyllis Pierce is a prime example of Genthe's ability to capture the essence of his subjects and to create images that continue to captivate and intrigue audiences today. The Library of Congress in the United States is the proud owner of this nitrate negative, which is a testament to the enduring value and importance of Genthe's work in the history of photography. This image, taken during the 20th century and specifically in the 1920s, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and influence contemporary art and photography.
