EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Adolph Bolm," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in October 1928. The image features Adolph Rudolphovich Bolm, a Russian-born dancer and choreographer who made a significant impact on the American ballet scene during the 1920s. Bolm is seen seated in a simple chair, looking away from the camera with a thoughtful expression. He is dressed in semi-dress attire, with his bare chest exposed, revealing the toned muscles that would have been showcased on stage. The background is plain, drawing all attention to Bolm's expressive face and sculpted physique. Bolm's career began in Russia, where he studied under the famous ballet master Marius Petipa. He later joined the Ballets Russes company, where he worked with the likes of Diaghilev, Stravinsky, and Nijinsky. In 1924, Bolm moved to the United States to become the artistic director of the Denishawn School and Company, where he introduced modern dance techniques to American audiences. This portrait photograph, taken during his American years, is a testament to Bolm's charisma and artistic achievements. The nitrate negative image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the heritage of dance and photography. The image is reminiscent of the 1920s, a time of cultural exchange and innovation, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the arts on society.
