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 esteemed photographer Arnold Genthe, this glass negative captures St. Denis in a regal and contemplative pose, dressed in an elegant, flowing skirt and top, with her arms gracefully holding a draped fabric. The image was taken during a performance at an undisclosed location, likely on the stage, as evidenced by the theatrical setting and the dancer's focused expression. Ruth St. Denis (1879-1968) was a pioneering figure in American modern dance, known for her innovative choreography and fusion of Eastern and Western dance styles. Her groundbreaking performances challenged traditional norms and paved the way for a new era in dance. In this photograph, St. Denis exudes a sense of power and grace, embodying the spirit of artistic exploration and experimentation that defined her career. The image, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the performing arts in the United States during the 1910s. The black and white format adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a captivating and enduring work of art.
