EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Marion Morgan Dancers,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1914 and 1927. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. The photograph features three Marion Morgan dancers, dressed in colorful costumes, engaged in a dynamic dance performance. The dancers, all women, are captured in various poses - one is seated and gesturing, another is kneeling and reaching out, while the third is standing and looking up, her posture full of grace and poise. Their clothing, a blend of traditional and modern apparel, adds to the intrigue of the image. The setting of the photograph is unclear, but it appears to be on a stage or a large, open space. The dancers' expressions are intense, their hand gestures full of emotion, suggesting a powerful and evocative performance. The photograph is a still image of a moment frozen in time, yet it exudes a sense of movement and energy. Marion Morgan was a dance troupe that performed a unique blend of traditional and modern dance styles, often incorporating elements of African American and Native American heritage into their performances. The troupe was popular during the 1910s and 1920s, and their dances were a reflection of the cultural diversity and complexity of the United States during this period. This photograph is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and value as a piece of heritage art. It is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic innovation that characterized the United States during the 20th century.
