EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe on September 27, 1918, captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of Russian composer, musician, pianist, and conductor, Sergei Prokofiev. The image was taken during Prokofiev's visit to the United States, marking his first extended stay outside of Russia. Prokofiev's innovative and groundbreaking compositions, which fused classical and modern elements, had already gained international recognition, making him a highly sought-after figure in the arts community. In this photograph, Prokofiev is shown in a contemplative mood, gazing off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. He is dressed in a formal suit, his hair slicked back, and his hands are folded in his lap, suggesting a sense of calm and introspection. The glass negative captures the intricacies of Prokofiev's features, from the furrowed brow to the piercing gaze, revealing the depth and complexity of his character. The portrait is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured many notable figures of the 20th century, including artists, writers, and politicians. This portrait of Prokofiev is a testament to Genthe's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and preserving their legacy for future generations. Prokofiev's visit to the United States was a pivotal moment in his career, as he was able to establish connections with American musicians and composers, leading to numerous performances and commissions. This photograph serves as a reminder of Prokofiev's significant contribution to the world of classical music and his enduring influence on composers and musicians around the world.
