EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the introspective and expressive face of Ito Michio, a Japanese dancer who performed in the United States during the 1910s. The image, created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1916 and 1921, showcases Ito Michio in a moment of deep contemplation. His furrowed forehead and wrinkled skin add to the sense of anguish and emotion conveyed through his expressive facial expression. Ito Michio was a pioneering figure in the world of performing arts, bringing traditional Japanese dance to American audiences during a time when cultural exchange between Asia and the United States was still relatively rare. This portrait, taken during his time in the US, offers a glimpse into the inner world of this young man, who appeared both trapped and stuck in the moment, yet also full of passion and intensity. Arnold Genthe, a leading figure in American photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique that allowed for exceptional detail and tonal range. The resulting photograph is a testament to both the artist's skill and the enduring power of the still image as a means of conveying the human condition. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a fitting tribute to the rich cultural heritage it represents.
