EDITORS COMMENTS
"Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) was a renowned American photographer known for his images of people and places. In this photograph, taken between 1911 and 1942, Genthe is seen enjoying a leisurely moment at Long Beach in Nassau County, New York, with two of his women friends. The trio is dressed in fashionable bathing costumes of the era, with the women donning stylish one-piece swimsuits and Genthe wearing a casual shirt and trousers. The friends appear to be in high spirits, with one woman gazing directly at the camera while the other looks on, holding hands with Genthe. The group is positioned on the sandy beach, with the ocean as a picturesque backdrop. The image captures the essence of the seaside social life during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, and the direct gaze of the women adds an intriguing element to the portrait. Genthe's mastery of photography is evident in this image, with the contrast between the dark clothing and the light sand and water creating a striking visual effect. The posture and pose of the friends convey a sense of ease and camaraderie, making this a charming and timeless representation of a bygone era." This photograph is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and photography. It offers a glimpse into the social and fashion trends of the time and serves as an enduring reminder of the joy and simplicity of a day at the beach.
