EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1910 and 1935 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the enigmatic figure of Ruth St. Denis, an influential dancer and pioneer of modern American dance. Dressed in a Siamese-inspired costume, St. Denis exudes an air of mystique and allure as she gestures gracefully on stage. The intricately designed headdress, adorned with jewels and other ornate embellishments, adds to her regal presence. The full-length image, taken during a performance, captures the dancer's body in motion, with her bare feet and flowing dress accentuating the fluidity of her movements. The location of the photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during one of St. Denis' many tours throughout the United States. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that influenced the world of American dance during the 1910s and serves as a reminder of the unique and unusual performances that captivated audiences of the time. The image is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection, housed in the Library of Congress, and was taken on nitrate negative film.
