EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal presence of Ruth St. Denis and her dancers, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1910 and 1935. The image, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the dancers in their intricately designed costumes, embodying the essence of the modern dance movement that emerged in the United States during the early 20th century. Ruth St. Denis, a pioneering figure in American modern dance, is seen here with her dancers, their faces expressive and focused, as they prepare for a performance. The dancers' clothing, a blend of Eastern and Western influences, adds to the mystique of the scene. The monochromatic palette of the nitrate negative enhances the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The location of the photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been taken during one of St. Denis' tours across the United States. The dancers' intense concentration and the enigmatic expression on St. Denis' face suggest the depth of their commitment to their craft. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American modern dance and the visionary artists who shaped its history. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of dance and the enduring allure of the human spirit in motion.
