EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe in 1915, we see a young Preston Sturges, a man who would go on to become one of the most influential figures in the American film industry as a director, writer, and producer. At the time of this photograph, Sturges was likely in his late teens or early twenties, wearing a formal dress shirt with a crisp collar and a dark tie. The boyish features of his face, accentuated by his direct gaze, give an air of both innocence and determination. The location of the photograph is uncertain, but Sturges' attire suggests that it may have been taken for a special occasion, such as a job interview or a formal event. The photograph is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 1910s, with the high collar and formal dress shirt being popular choices for young men at the time. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of portrait photography, captured this image using glass negatives. The photograph's monochromatic color palette adds to its timeless quality, making it a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the past. Preston Sturges went on to have a prolific career in the film industry, writing, directing, and producing films that would become classics of American cinema. His works, including "The Lady Eve," "Sullivan's Travels," and "The Great McGinty," showcased his unique blend of wit, social commentary, and visual flair. This portrait photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the life of a young man on the cusp of greatness.
