EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait of Greta Garbo, captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in July 1925, offers a captivating glimpse into the enigmatic world of one of Hollywood's most intriguing figures. Born as Greta Lovisa Gustafsson in Stockholm, Sweden, Garbo emigrated to the United States in 1924 and quickly rose to fame as a silent film actress. Known for her mysterious and enigmatic screen presence, Garbo's unique charisma and magnetic allure made her an instant sensation in the American entertainment industry. In this portrait, Genthe masterfully captures Garbo's intense gaze and enigmatic expression, as she looks up from the camera with a hint of curiosity and intrigue. The image, which was likely taken in a studio setting, showcases Garbo's striking features and the contrast between her dark hair and porcelain complexion. The photograph is a testament to the power of the still image as an art form, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of both Greta Garbo and Arnold Genthe. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a vast array of historical photographs, lantern slides, and other visual materials. The image is a valuable addition to the Library's heritage art holdings, and a testament to the rich cultural history of the performing arts in America during the 1920s. The portrait is also a reminder of the enduring influence of the silver screen on popular culture, and the continued fascination with the lives and careers of movie stars like Greta Garbo.
