EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Dolin, Hortense," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in May 1935. The image showcases the captivating beauty of Hortense Dolin, with her arms outstretched and a delicate wreath of flowers in her long, flowing hair. The young woman stands before a backdrop of nature, with a single flower held in her hand and a veil draped over her shoulders. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, was known for his innovative use of lighting and composition. In this image, he masterfully employs contrasting shades to highlight Hortense's elegant features and the intricate details of her clothing and accessories. The nitrate negative used in this photograph adds to its vintage charm, transporting us back to the 1930s in the United States. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece of heritage art, which serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classic portraiture. The image conveys a sense of stillness and serenity, as Hortense gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. This portrait not only showcases the beauty of the subject but also the artistry of the photographer, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American photography and fashion.
