EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Cortissoz, Royal, Mr." and created by Arnold Genthe on April 10, 1916, captures the distinguished and formal appearance of Royal Cortissoz, an American art historian and critic. Cortissoz is dressed in a dark overcoat, a white shirt, and a black bow tie, accessorized with a pair of gloves and a hat. He gazes directly at the camera with a serious expression, his piercing eyes accentuated by the thick-rimmed spectacles perched on his nose. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s, with Cortissoz's attire reflecting the formal and elegant style of the era. The photograph was taken during a time when Cortissoz was making a name for himself in the art world, having recently become the art critic for the New York Herald. Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured this image using glass negatives, which were the standard for high-quality photography at the time. The photograph's historic significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the Library of Congress, a national archive dedicated to preserving American history and culture. The direct gaze of Cortissoz, combined with his formal attire and serious expression, conveys a sense of authority and expertise. This portrait is not only a visual representation of Cortissoz's professional persona but also a snapshot of American history, showcasing the fashion, culture, and heritage of the early 20th century.
