EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1915 and 1917, captures the renowned American sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, in the midst of his creative process. Borglum, born as John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum, is best known for his large-scale sculptures, most notably Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, which he began carving in 1927. In this image, Borglum is seen in a makeshift studio, surrounded by various tools and materials, as he works on a smaller sculpture. The nautical theme of the piece is evident from the ship's wheel and other maritime objects in the background. Borglum's intense focus and deft touch are on full display, as he meticulously shapes the clay or plaster, bringing his vision to life. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. Genthe, a pioneering American photographer, expertly captures the essence of Borglum's artistic process, offering a rare glimpse into the world of a master sculptor. The image is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and value as a piece of photographic history. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American history and culture. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of both Borglum and Genthe, and their contributions to the arts in the United States.
