EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1919 Feb. 11," is an iconic image of the pioneering modern dancer, Ruth St. Denis. Taken by the renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this photograph captures St. Denis in an expressive and dynamic pose, as she gestures with one hand while standing on one leg. The photograph was taken during a performance at an undisclosed location, likely in the United States, and showcases St. Denis' unique and innovative approach to dance. Born in 1879 in Indiana, St. Denis was a trailblazer in the world of modern dance, incorporating elements of Asian and Middle Eastern culture into her performances. In this photograph, she is seen wearing an intricately designed Asian-inspired costume, which adds to the exotic and mystical atmosphere of the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of the performing arts in America during the early 20th century. The photograph is a nitrate negative, which adds to its historical significance and value. The use of this photographic process was common during the 1910s, but it is now considered a fragile and rare format due to its susceptibility to deterioration. The image is full length, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the detail and beauty of St. Denis' costume and posture. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art, fashion, or performing arts. It is a unique and expressive image that captures the essence of a groundbreaking artist and the evolution of dance in America during the early 20th century.
