EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the enigmatic and expressive pose of Elsie Dufour, an American dancer active between 1918 and 1920. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Elsie in a full-length portrait, standing on one leg with her arms raised and gesturing in the air. The distorted perspective and unusual posture add an element of intrigue and mystery to the image, making it a captivating work of art. Taken in Genthe's studio, the photograph is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the image's historical significance, as this photographic process was popular during the early 20th century. The contrast between the white and black tones highlights the intricacies of Elsie's costume and the folds of her body, adding depth and texture to the image. Elsie Dufour was a dancer of the 1910s, a time when dance was a popular form of entertainment in the United States. Her unique style and expressive movements no doubt captivated audiences and inspired artists like Genthe. This photograph, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the heritage of American art and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history of the United States during the 1910s.
