EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Carmen de Gonzalez, October 1913" by Arnold Genthe, offers a glimpse into the world of performing arts during the early 20th century in the United States. The image features the young and elegant Carmen de Gonzalez, a Spanish dancer, in a full-length portrait. Seated on a stage, she is dressed in traditional Spanish attire, complete with a flowing skirt, intricate hairdo, and a bun adorned with flowers. Gonzalez's expressive hand gesture and the slight tilt of her head suggest a moment of deep concentration or preparation before a performance. Her piercing gaze, directed away from the camera, adds an element of mystery and intrigue. The photograph was taken during a time when the defense of cultural heritage was gaining importance, and the arts were seen as a means of preserving and celebrating diverse traditions. Arnold Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 1900s. The resulting monochrome print showcases the stunning contrast between the white background and the dark tones of Gonzalez's outfit and hair. This vintage image is a testament to the rich history of performing arts and the enduring influence of cultural heritage. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the arts and the history of the United States.
