EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Paul Cowles, an American man from the early 1910s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, the image showcases Cowles dressed in formal attire, wearing a crisp white shirt, dark suit, and a tie. The addition of a coat and glasses only adds to the sense of sophistication and seriousness. Cowles' bald head and direct gaze create an air of authority and confidence. The photograph, which was taken using glass negatives, is a testament to the heritage of American portraiture during the 20th century. The monochromatic palette of the image, with its contrasting shades of white and black, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. Paul Cowles is seen looking directly at the camera, creating a sense of connection between the subject and the viewer. The image was taken in a studio setting, likely in the United States, and the location remains undisclosed. The photograph is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a repository of American heritage art and culture. The image is a reminder of the fashion trends of the early 1910s, with men's clothing featuring formal dress coats, suits, and ties. The accessories, such as the glasses and the coat, add to the overall appeal of the portrait, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Overall, this portrait by Arnold Genthe is a beautiful example of classic American portraiture and a testament to the enduring appeal of photography.
