EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Anita Lily Pollitzer, an American photographer and suffragist, as immortalized by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on September 24, 1918. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, transports us to the vibrant cultural milieu of the 1910s in the United States. Anita Pollitzer, a trailblazing figure in women's rights, is believed to have shared a profound connection with the celebrated painter Georgia O'Keeffe. Their correspondence, filled with affectionate letters, hints at a potential romantic relationship between the two influential women. This photograph, with its hauntingly beautiful composition, offers a glimpse into the private world of these extraordinary individuals. The image, a glass negative, is a testament to Genthe's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of his subject. The stark contrast between the white and black tones adds depth and dimension to the portrait, further emphasizing the intrigue that surrounds Anita Pollitzer's life and legacy. As we gaze into her piercing eyes, we are reminded of the groundbreaking work she accomplished as a suffragist and the impact she had on the lives of women in the United States during a pivotal time in history. This portrait not only serves as a tribute to Anita Pollitzer but also as a reminder of the enduring power of art to preserve and illuminate the stories of remarkable individuals.
