EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe on September 20, 1925, captures a man wearing a mask created by Wladyslaw T. Benda. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, as the man dons the mask with a grinning joker-like expression, holding a cigarette in one hand and a pack in the other. The setting is a garden, adding to the theatrical and performative nature of the scene. The man's suit and dress shirt suggest an upper-class background, yet the mask and cigarettes hint at a more playful and mischievous side. The mask, made by Wladyslaw T. Benda, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the image. Benda was a renowned mask maker of the time, and his masks were popular among performers and those seeking disguise. The mask's design, with its exaggerated features and bold colors, further emphasizes the man's performance and the concept of disguise. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of the 1920s in America. The use of nitrate negative adds to the vintage feel, and the image's timeless quality makes it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or fashion photography.
