EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Old Mammy, New Orleans" captures the essence of a bygone era in the vibrant city of New Orleans. Taken around 1925 by Arnold Genthe, an American photographer originally from Germany, this photograph showcases his talent for capturing intimate moments and preserving them for future generations. The image depicts an elderly African-American woman affectionately referred to as "Mammy". She exudes wisdom and strength through her weathered face and worn hands. Her eyes reflect a lifetime of experiences that have shaped her character. The backdrop of New Orleans adds depth to the narrative, with its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. Genthe's mastery is evident in his ability to capture the raw emotions emanating from Mammy's expression. Through subtle lighting techniques and careful composition, he immortalizes her story within this gelatin silver print. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of America's complex history while celebrating the resilience and dignity of individuals who played vital roles in shaping our society. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as identity, race relations, and social justice. As part of the Liszt Collection, this photograph stands as a testament to Genthe's artistic vision and his contribution to documenting important aspects of American life during the early 20th century.
