EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Theda Bara, an American actress and one of the most famous silent film stars of the 1910s, on November 11, 1916. The photograph was taken by Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer known for his glass negatives and innovative cinematography techniques. The image showcases Bara in a seductive and alluring pose, leaning against a wall with her profile facing forward and her left shoulder exposed. Her hair, styled in soft waves, frames her face and adds to her mysterious and enchanting aura. Bara, born Theodosia Burr Goodman, revolutionized the film industry with her bold and provocative performances, often portraying seductive and sexualized characters. This image, taken during the height of her career, embodies the essence of her on-screen persona. The black and white, high contrast image adds to the vintage and timeless feel of the photograph. The portrait is a testament to the power of photography in capturing the essence of a person and preserving it for future generations. It is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress and a reminder of the rich history of American entertainment and the silent film era.
