EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Irene Hayes, an accomplished businesswoman and renowned performer of the early 20th century. Taken on May 18, 1914, by the esteemed photographer Arnold Genthe, this glass negative image presents Irene in an intimate setting, gazing introspectively downwards. Her youthful visage, adorned with a simple yet elegant hairstyle and subtle makeup, exudes an air of sophistication and charm. Born and raised in the United States, Irene Hayes rose to prominence as a Ziegfeld Girl, a term used to describe the chorus girls of the famous Ziegfeld Follies, a series of extravagant and elaborate theatrical productions. However, her talents extended beyond the stage, as she also established a successful business career. This portrait, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to the versatility and charisma of Irene Hayes. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as a valuable historical artifact that showcases the vibrant and dynamic spirit of the era. The intricacies of Genthe's photographic technique are evident in the fine details of the image, from the textures of Irene's clothing to the subtle nuances of her expression. This portrait invites viewers to reflect on the rich history of American show business and the remarkable women who shaped it.
