EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Korbel, Mario, Mr.," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1914 and 1928. The subject of the photograph, Mario Korbel, is depicted in formal attire, wearing a well-tailored suit, complete with a crisp white shirt, dark tie, and a stylish hat. His intense gaze directly engages the viewer, adding an air of intrigue and mystery to the image. Genthe, a Czechoslovakian-American artist, is known for his mastery of the art of portrait photography, particularly in his use of glass negatives to achieve exceptional clarity and detail. The photograph's high contrast, with its striking white and black tones, further emphasizes the formal nature of the scene. Mario Korbel's attire, with its fashionable dress coat, gloves, and well-polished shoes, reflects the formal dress codes of the time. His carefully groomed hair and neatly parted hairdo add to the overall sense of refinement and sophistication. The portrait was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural changes in America. The image serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the era, as well as the intensity and character of its people. This photograph, now part of the prestigious Library of Congress collection, is a testament to Genthe's skill as a portrait photographer and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The image invites us to ponder the story behind Mario Korbel's gaze and to appreciate the rich heritage of American art and photography.
