Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) was an internationally recognized American photographer born in Germany. Genthe made a name for himself as both a pictorialist and a portrait photographer, working from the turn of the twentieth century into the 1930s. Amold Genthe achieved a depth and breadth that few artists of the 20th century can claim. Genthe mastered portraiture, landscape, and architectural photography in a uniquely pictorialist style. He traveled extensively during his lifetime, photographing. The current twelve (12) photos are coming from his 1930 travel to Greece, where among other places he also visited Rhodes Island. The presented photographs are not just compelling works of art, they serve as historic documents. Amold Genthes photographs are found in many important collections throughout the world.
