EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1927 July or Aug," was taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image captures Ruth St. Denis, an influential figure in the world of performing arts, as she gracefully dances outdoors in a garden setting. Dressed in an ethereal, flowing costume, St. Denis is barefoot, allowing her feet to connect intimately with the earth. The billowing skirt of her dress, adorned with a veil, adds to the dreamlike quality of the image. Taken in the 1910s, this photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture during this era. The location of the shoot is not explicitly stated, but the lush greenery and natural surroundings suggest a rural or country setting. St. Denis, known for her innovative and spiritual approach to dance, is captured mid-performance, her body in motion and full of energy. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of nitrate negatives held by the Library of Congress. The use of black and white film adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable addition to the annals of American history and the evolution of performing arts. The image is a poignant reminder of the beauty and power of the human body in motion and the enduring influence of the arts on our collective consciousness.
