EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating photograph, titled "St. Denis, Ruth, 1919 Feb. 11," showcases the enchanting presence of American modern dancer Ruth St. Denis as she gracefully poses in traditional Balinese attire. The image, taken during the 1910s, captures the essence of the arts scene in the United States at the time, where Eastern influences heavily influenced Western art and culture. Ruth St. Denis, a pioneer in modern dance, is depicted here in a full-length portrait, standing poised and confident in a stunning, jewel-encrusted costume. Her hand is gracefully placed on her hip, adding an air of elegance and allure to her posture. The background of the photograph is simple, with a glass negative effect that adds to the vintage charm of the image. The location of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but it is believed to have been taken during one of St. Denis' performances, possibly of the Kecak dance, which she learned during her travels to Bali, Indonesia. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage that influenced St. Denis' work and continues to inspire artists and performers to this day. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, is a beautiful example of the concept of fusion between Eastern and Western influences in the arts during the 20th century. It is a still image that captures the essence of a dynamic and poised performer, frozen in time for future generations to appreciate.
