EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Bull, Charles, Mr." and created by renowned artist Arnold Genthe in 1916, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century in America. The subject, identified as Charles Bull Livingston, is depicted in formal attire, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and a striped tie. His hair is neatly parted to the side and slicked back, a popular hairstyle of the time. The setting of the photograph is simple, with a plain background, allowing the focus to remain on the subject. The use of a side profile adds an air of sophistication and mystery to the image. The glass negative technique employed by Genthe results in a high level of detail, showcasing the intricacies of the clothing and accessories. Charles Bull Livingston's attire, including his coat and jacket, were common for formal occasions during the 1910s in the United States. The monochromatic color palette, with its stark contrast between white and black, further enhances the timeless quality of the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a German-American artist, was known for his portraits and illustrations. This portrait, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and the era in which they lived. The image serves as a valuable piece of heritage art, offering insights into the fashion, occupation, and social norms of the time.
