EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Wanger, Beatrice, Miss, and other dancers, between 1912 and 1920,' captures a moment of pure expression and grace as four dancers, led by Beatrice Wanger, engage in a captivating performance. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe during the 1910s in the United States, showcases the dancers in full length, their arms raised and gesturing in unison. The black-and-white nitrate negative adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to an era of artistic innovation and cultural exploration. The dancers, dressed in flowing, form-fitting attire, exude a sense of energy and vitality as they perform on an empty stage. Beatrice Wanger, the central figure, gazes intently at the camera with a determined expression, her arms extended high above her head. The other dancers follow suit, their postures mirroring her movements, creating a harmonious tableau. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the world of dance during the early 20th century. The image defies the boundaries of traditional portraiture, instead inviting us to appreciate the dancers as artists in motion, their bodies expressing a rich tapestry of emotion and creativity. The contrast between the dancers' white and black attire adds an intriguing element to the image, highlighting the diversity and inclusivity of the dance community during this period. Overall, 'Wanger, Beatrice, Miss, and other dancers, between 1912 and 1920' is a stunning testament to the power of dance as a means of self-expression and artistic exploration.
