EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Severn, Margaret, Miss, 1922 June 30," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in the 1920s. The image showcases Margaret Severn, a dancer, in a full-length portrait as she performs an expressive dance routine. Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, Severn gracefully holds a sword in each hand, her arms raised and gesturing above her head. The image exudes a sense of power and intensity, as if she is in the midst of a passionate performance on stage. The photograph, which is a nitrate negative, was taken during a time when the arts were flourishing in America, particularly in the areas of dance and performing arts. The Asian influence is evident in the setting and Severn's costume, reflecting the fascination with the exotic and the far-off lands of Asia that was prevalent during the 1920s. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during this era, as well as the expressive and artistic nature of the human spirit. The use of a mask in the photograph adds an element of mystery and intrigue, further enhancing the allure of the image. This still image from the past remains a powerful and evocative work of art, capturing the essence of a bygone era and the timeless beauty of the human form in motion.
