EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 17, 1918, captures the enchanting figure of Desiree Lubovska, an American dancer born as Winniefred Foote. The image was taken during a performance at a camp, likely a summer arts colony or dance retreat. Lubovska is seen barefoot and dressed in a simple, flowing costume, adorned with a striking headdress. Her expressive body language and intense gaze convey a sense of deep focus and connection to the earth below. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the performing arts in the United States during the early 20th century. Desiree Lubovska was known for her innovative and unconventional approach to dance, often performing barefoot and emphasizing the natural fluidity of the human body. This image, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past and the evolution of dance as an art form. The photograph is a glass negative, and its monochromatic palette adds to the timeless and ethereal quality of the image. The location of the performance remains unknown, but the image transports us to a simpler time, where the focus was on the raw expression of the human body and the power of art to inspire and captivate.
