EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1919 Feb. 11," is a testament to the expressive power of the human body in motion. Taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, this image showcases Ruth St. Denis, a pioneering figure in modern dance, as she gracefully poses in an Asian-inspired costume. With one arm outstretched and bare feet planted firmly on the ground, St. Denis exudes a sense of strength and poise, embodying the spirit of the performing arts. The photograph, captured in the 1910s during the 20th century, is a visual representation of the fusion of cultures and artistic movements that defined the era. The image was taken at a time when modern dance was breaking away from traditional forms, and St. Denis was at the forefront of this innovative movement. Her costume, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflects the influence of Asian art and design on American culture during this period. The full-length portrait, taken as a still image, captures the essence of St. Denis's performance style, which emphasized the importance of the body as an expressive instrument. The photograph, with its rich heritage and historical significance, is a valuable addition to the performing arts and photography collections at the Library of Congress. This image is a reminder of the enduring power of dance and the human body to captivate and inspire.
