EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1913 Mar. 25," was taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image captures Ruth St. Denis, an influential American dancer and choreographer, in a full-length portrait. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, St. Denis exudes an air of grace and elegance. She wears a kimono adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant color palette, accessorized with a parasol and a beautiful kanzashi hair ornament. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time when St. Denis was at the height of her career. She was known for her innovative approach to dance, blending Eastern and Western influences to create a unique and captivating performance style. In this image, St. Denis appears to be in a contemplative mood, perhaps preparing for a performance or reflecting on her art. The setting of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the use of shading and the ornate background suggest that it was taken in a grand, theatrical setting. The image has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of early 20th-century performing arts and the fusion of Eastern and Western influences in American culture. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Ruth St. Denis, who continues to be celebrated as a pioneering figure in the history of dance.
