EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze and graceful presence of Adolph Rudolphovich Bolm, a Russian-born American ballet dancer and choreographer, in March 1918. Bolm, who was known for his innovative choreography and dynamic performances, had already made a name for himself in the world of dance by the time this photograph was taken. Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured Bolm's essence with remarkable skill in this glass negative image. The photograph, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Bolm's masculine beauty and the deep concentration that marked his performances. The image was taken during a pivotal period in Bolm's career, as he was establishing himself as a leading figure in American ballet. Bolm's journey from Russia to the United States began in 1906, when he joined the Denishawn Dance Company. He later formed his own company, the Ballet Intime, in 1924, which became a significant force in the development of modern American ballet. Bolm's influence on the dance world continued until his retirement in 1945. This portrait of Adolph Bolm offers a glimpse into the life of a visionary artist who helped shape the landscape of American ballet. The image, with its timeless quality and evocative power, serves as a testament to Genthe's mastery of the art of photography and to Bolm's enduring legacy in dance.
