Mr. Gugi, Portrait Photograph, 1918 June 10
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white portrait photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. This image, taken on June 10, 1918, captures the enigmatic figure of a man named Gugi, deeply engrossed in playing his violin. The photograph is part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., United States. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, captured this moment in time using a glass negative process, which adds to the timeless quality of the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s. Genthe's composition masterfully highlights the intricacies of the violin, with its strings taut and ready, and the man's intense focus, as he brings the instrument to life with his skilled playing. The man, identified as Gugi, is dressed in casual attire, adding an air of informality to the image, making it all the more relatable and engaging. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of music and its ability to transcend time and space. The image is not only a beautiful work of art but also a historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the people and traditions of the United States during the early 20th century. This photograph is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, photography, music, or simply appreciating the human spirit and the beauty of a moment frozen in time. The image is a valuable addition to any collection, and its inclusion in the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress is a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
