EDITORS COMMENTS
Peula and Michael: A Timeless Musical Moment Captured by Arnold Genthe, 1916 This striking black and white portrait, titled "Peula, Michael, Mr.," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a bygone era. The two subjects of this photograph are Peula and Michael, both dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. Peula, a graceful woman, sits elegantly in a chair, her eyes closed as if lost in thought or deeply engrossed in the music that she holds so dear. She wears a flowing dress, the fabric of which seems to ripple gently, as if caught in a soft breeze. Her hands rest delicately on the strings of her cello, the instrument nestled between her legs. The cello, with its rich, dark wood and intricate details, complements Peula's attire and adds an air of sophistication to the scene. Michael, a dapper gentleman, stands beside Peula, his gaze fixed on her as she plays. He wears a well-tailored suit, the fabric of which appears crisp and pressed. His posture is confident and poised, reflecting his support and admiration for Peula's musical talent. The contrast between Peula's soft, flowing dress and Michael's structured suit adds visual interest to the image, further highlighting the dynamic between the two subjects. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow in this glass negative adds depth and texture to the photograph, making it a true work of art. The image, with its timeless quality, invites us to ponder the rich history of music and the enduring connection between musicians and their instruments.
