Paul Hindemith, the German composer and violinist, appears here in a bust-length portrait, a format that keeps the focus on his face and bearing rather than any setting. Hindemith (1895-1963) was among the most prominent composers of the interwar years, known for his practical, craft-centered approach to music and for works written for amateurs as well as professionals. He left Germany in the 1930s, a period that shaped the later part of his career in the United States and Switzerland. The caption card gives no date for the photograph, so it is best read as a record of the composer's appearance rather than of a specific occasion.
