Fontaine, Miss, 1916 Feb. 2: A Timeless Portrait of Evan Burrows Fontaine in a Captivating Dance Performance This evocative photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on February 2, 1916, presents a mesmerizing image of Evan Burrows Fontaine in the height of her dance performance. The location of this moment is not explicitly stated, but the image transports us to an era of elegance and artistry, filled with the allure of the performing arts. Fontaine, with her youthful grace and unparalleled flexibility, stands before us in a full-length portrait, her legs apart and arms extended behind her. Her expressive face, looking back over her shoulder, reveals a sense of stealth and concentration as she executes the next move in her dance routine. The glass negatives used by Genthe in the 1910s lend an ethereal quality to the image, enhancing the sense of mystery and intrigue. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture. The stark contrast of black and white tones adds to the vintage feel, transporting us back in time to an age of elegance and sophistication. The photograph also highlights the concept of nudity and nakedness in the context of the performing arts, challenging societal norms and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. Evan Burrows Fontaine's performance, frozen in time by Genthe's lens, continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. This image serves as a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another world and to evoke emotions that transcend time.
