EDITORS COMMENTS
Malvina Hoffman, an esteemed American sculptor and author, is captured in this intimate portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on June 27, 1933. The black and white image, now held in the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Hoffman in her studio, seated in a chair with a Siamese cat perched gracefully on her lap. The sculptor's intense focus is evident in her expression, as she gazes off into the distance, lost in thought or inspiration. The presence of the feline companion adds a touch of playfulness and warmth to the image, highlighting the human-animal bond. Born in 1885, Hoffman was a trailblazing artist and writer who made significant contributions to the arts scene in the United States during the 20th century. She was known for her large-scale public sculptures, including "Prometheus Bound" and "The Awakening of the Indian," as well as her authoritative books on sculpture techniques. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of this remarkable woman, revealing a moment of relaxation and companionship with her beloved cat. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the artist-as-muse trope, as well as the timeless connection between humans and their pets.
