This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Stiller, Mauritz, Mr." and created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1927, offers a glimpse into the past of the early American film industry. Mauritz Stiller, a Swedish-born film director, is depicted in the image, looking away from the camera with a hint of a smile playing on his lips. Stiller's formal attire, including a crisp suit and tie, reflects the fashion trends of the 1920s in America. At the time, Stiller was a prominent figure in Hollywood, having made a significant impact on the industry as both a director and actor. He is best known for his work on films such as "Erotikon" and "The Saga of Gösta Berling," which showcased his innovative approach to cinematography and storytelling. The photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection, is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and cinema. Taken using a nitrate negative, the image retains its original black and white tones, adding to its vintage charm.
