"But to one who has eyes to see, the Parthenon-shining in the morning light against the deep slivery blue of the Attic sky, or when the last rays of the setting sun add a golden touch to its ivoried columns, or in the moonlight night when the noise of the city is but a vague murmur and every voice is hushed in an ecstasy of meditation and worship-makes one feel that the ancient gods are not dead and the temple of Pallas Athena is not a shattered ruin but the noblest living monument ever buit by man." From Arnold Genthe, As I Remember", 1936, pages 236-237

Arnold Genthe
Arnold Genthe was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1869. After graduating from the University of Berlin, Genthe moved to San Francisco in 1895. There, he established himself as a portrait photographer of celebrities. He also did a series of Chinatown genre — which was published as Old Chinatown — and scenes of the destruction caused by the 1906 earthquake. In 1911, Genthe moved to NYC, where he was a pioneer in dance photography, producing Book of the Dance (1916) and Isadora Duncan (1929). He penned his memoir, called As I Remember, before his death in New Milford, Connecticut, in 1942. Genthe exhibited at the California Camera Club, 1899, 1901 (gold medal); Society of Independent Artists, 1917; Paris, 1928 (gold medal); Staten Island Museum, New York, 1975; in the New York Historical Society; and the Oakland Museum.
