EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal beauty and grace of Elizabeth Duncan and her dancers, captured between 1916 and 1941 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the dancers in an al fresco setting, dancing barefoot on the grass in chiffon costumes reminiscent of ancient Grecian attire. The black and white nitrate negative adds to the timeless and nostalgic feel of the image, transporting us back to the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. The dancers, with their bodies in fluid motion, are seen gesturing and making hand gestures, adding to the expressive and dynamic nature of the performance. The outdoor location, with the sun casting long shadows and the trees in the background, adds to the idyllic and picturesque setting. The image showcases the dancers' connection to the land and the natural world, as well as their commitment to preserving the heritage of dance and the human body in motion. The use of chiffon fabric and bare feet further emphasizes the connection between the dancers and the earth, making for a striking and evocative image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
