EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1919 Feb. 11," is a stunning portrait of the renowned American modern dancer Ruth St. Denis. Taken by the acclaimed photographer Arnold Genthe, this image captures St. Denis in a moment of poise and refusal, as she stands before a plain backdrop, dressed in an intricately designed Indian sari. With her bare feet gracefully positioned, she gestures towards the hem of her dress, as if in mid-performance or in the midst of a profound decision. The sari, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, contrasts sharply with the monochromatic background, drawing the viewer's attention to the dancer's body and the richness of her costume. Ruth St. Denis was a pioneering figure in the world of modern dance, known for her innovative fusion of Eastern and Western dance styles. In this photograph, taken during the 1910s, she embodies the spirit of cultural exchange and artistic exploration that defined the era. The glass negative technique used by Genthe further adds to the image's timeless quality, capturing the essence of a bygone era and preserving it for future generations to appreciate. This evocative portrait of Ruth St. Denis is a testament to the power of dance as a universal language and a reminder of the enduring influence of the arts on our collective cultural heritage.
