EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Milcinovic, Vera, 1926 Jan. 7," captures the enigmatic and captivating presence of Vera Milcinovic as she takes a pause in her mesmerizing dance performance. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in the 1920s, this image is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of America during this era. Born in 1905 in what is now Croatia, Vera Milcinovic came to the United States and quickly made a name for herself as a dancer and model. In this photograph, she is depicted in a full-length, one-of-a-kind pose. Naked but for a veil that covers her face and hair, she kneels on the ground, looking back over her shoulder with a thoughtful expression. The image was captured using a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and visual depth. The photograph's location is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been taken during a performance or photoshoot. Milcinovic's posture and the way she holds herself suggest a sense of vulnerability and strength, making for a compelling and evocative image. This photograph is a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of a young, talented artist during the 1920s in America. It is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical and artistic value.
