EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Carolyn M. Pierson, Miss, Portrait," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on August 17, 1928. The image captures Pierson in a full-length, back view pose, with her arms raised above her head in a poised and graceful gesture. The photograph, which is a nitrate negative, exudes an air of timeless elegance and allure, transporting us back to the 1920s in the United States. Carolyn Pierson, the subject of this stunning image, is depicted in the raw beauty of her nakedness, with her slender figure and toned back showcased in the still frame. The contrast between the white skin of the model and the dark background adds to the image's visual appeal and emphasizes the concept of vulnerability and strength. Genthe, a prolific artist and photographer, was known for his work as a portraitist and for his images of nude models. This photograph, taken at the height of the 1920s, reflects the cultural trends of the time, which celebrated the female form and the ideal of physical beauty. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to the enduring value of this work as a piece of heritage art. The photograph's composition, with Pierson's arms raised and her poised posture, conveys a sense of stillness and quiet confidence, making it a truly captivating and evocative image from the 20th century.
