EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating photograph, titled "Barkette, Lina, Mrs. 1923 Jan. 18," showcases the enigmatic and expressive figure of Lina Barkette in a full-length portrait. Taken in the artist's studio during the 1920s in the United States, the image captures Lina in an unforgettable moment as she stands with her arms outstretched, creating an air of vulnerability and strength. The contrast between the stark white background and Lina's dark skin adds depth and intrigue to the image, while the subtle veil that covers her head adds an element of mystery. As an artist's model, Lina was no stranger to the studio environment, yet her pose in this photograph suggests a deeper connection to the art form. The image is a testament to the power of the human form in art, and the ability of a single still image to convey emotion and story. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the image's historical significance, as this photographic process was popular during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of American heritage in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human experience as captured by the masterful lens of Arnold Genthe.
