EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Isadora Duncan in a moment of apprehension during her performance between 1915 and 1923. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the dancer in a full-length pose, dressed in an exotic sari, with her hands clasped together and her eyes fixed on something beyond the frame. The haunting expression on her face conveys a sense of fear or alarm, adding an intriguing layer to the image. Isadora Duncan, an American dancer who gained international fame for her innovative dance style, is depicted here in a setting that could be either India or America. The choice of attire, a traditional Indian sari, further emphasizes the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the photograph. The glass negative technique used by Genthe adds to the vintage feel of the image, transporting us back to the 1910s and the rich cultural heritage of the era. The photograph, now part of the Library of Congress collection, is a testament to the power of dance as an art form and the ability of a single image to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place. The fearful posture of the dancer, with her head turned away and her body frozen in stillness, leaves us wondering about the cause of her fright and the story behind this moment in dance history.
