EDITORS COMMENTS
Desha Delteil, a Slovenian-American dancer, gracefully leaps into the air with arms raised in Port Washington, Long Island, New York, on August 21, 1921. Captured in this stunning photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, Desha is seen dressed in a flowing, expressive costume, her bare feet connected to the earth below. The garden setting adds to the serene and artistic atmosphere of the performance, as Desha's body expresses the joy and freedom of dance. With a posture full of strength and grace, Desha's gesturing arms and jumping form convey the rich cultural heritage of the 1920s, a time of vibrant artistic expression in America. This full-length portrait, taken as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the enduring power of the performing arts to captivate and inspire."
