EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942, features an unidentified dancer in an al fresco setting, possibly Elizabeth Duncan. The dancer is captured mid-performance, her graceful form clad in a flowing chiffon dress that billows around her as she gestures towards a grapevine arbour. The image, a testament to the fusion of art and nature, was likely taken in the United States during the 1910s, 1920s, or 1930s. The dancer's bare feet connect her to the earth, adding to the organic feel of the scene. She wears minimal apparel, allowing the focus to remain on her expressive body and the fluidity of her movements. The use of a nitrate negative enhances the image's tonal range, creating a stunning contrast between the dancer's white skin and the dark grapes hanging from the vines. The location of this photograph is not definitively known, but the image evokes a sense of tranquility and escape, as if the dancer and the viewer have been transported to a secluded garden oasis. The image is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to the photographer's enduring legacy and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
