EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 15, 1915, captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Gutzon Borglum, a celebrated American sculptor. Borglum is depicted in formal attire, wearing a dark overcoat and a crisp shirt with a high collar, accentuating his strong jawline and distinctive moustache. The artist's bald head and intense gaze add to the sense of focus and determination in his expression. Borglum, born John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum, was known for his large-scale public sculptures, most notably Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, which features the carved faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. This portrait, however, offers a more intimate glimpse into the man behind the monumental works of art. The photograph was taken during the early 1910s, a period of significant artistic and cultural growth in the United States. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Genthe and Borglum, whose works continue to shape the American artistic heritage. The photograph itself is a valuable historical artifact, captured on glass negatives and preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to the power of photography as a means of recording history and capturing the essence of individuals who have shaped the world around us.
