St. Denis, B. Mr. 1893
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe, taken in the early 1910s. The image depicts a solitary male figure, identified as St. Denis, standing before a plain backdrop, dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The man wears a flowing kimono, accessorized with a fan and a traditional headdress. His expression is intense and focused, as if he is about to perform a dance or recite a poem. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural exchange that was taking place in America during the early 20th century. St. Denis was a renowned dancer and impresario who introduced traditional Japanese dance to American audiences. He founded the Denishawn School of Dance and Related Arts in Los Angeles in 1915, which became a hub for modern dance and helped to popularize Asian-inspired costumes and movements in American dance. The photograph was taken using a handheld glass negative, which gives it a unique texture and tonality. The image is a snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of St. Denis as a performer and cultural ambassador. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of St. Denis and the impact he had on American arts and culture. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving heritage and tradition, even in the face of modernity and change. Stubbornly holding on to the past, yet embracing the future, St. Denis stands as a symbol of resilience and innovation.
