EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting presence of Ruth St. Denis and her dancers in an otherworldly garden setting, between 1910 and 1935. The image, created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the innovative and unconventional dance style of St. Denis, considered a pioneer of modern American dance. The dancers, dressed in flowing white costumes, appear to be in a trance-like state as they perform around a fountain, their ethereal movements seemingly in harmony with the water's gentle flow. The garden, filled with lush greenery and vibrant flowers, adds to the dreamlike atmosphere, transporting viewers to a time and place of artistic exploration and creativity. Ruth St. Denis, a trailblazing performer and founder of the Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, is known for her fusion of Eastern and Western dance traditions, incorporating elements of ballet, modern dance, and Asian and Middle Eastern influences into her choreography. Her groundbreaking performances challenged the norms of the time, paving the way for future generations of dancers and artists. This photograph, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States in the 20th century. The image invites us to reflect on the power of art to transport us to new realms of imagination and inspiration.
