Arnold Genthe (1869-1942). Percy Grainger, New York, c. 1920 Silver-gelatine photograph Originally a Classical scholar, Genthe developed his photographic reputation documenting pre-earthquake San Francisco Chinatown, using a concealed camera. Genthe's technique in portraiture also relied on catching the sitter unaware: unposed; mid-thought. |
