EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Mary Wigman (1886-1973), a pioneering figure in the world of modern dance. Taken in 1931, the image showcases the German dancer at the height of her career, exuding an air of natural grace and unyielding determination. Wigman's innovative approach to dance, which fused elements of jazz, classical, and expressionist styles, revolutionized the dance world and paved the way for future generations of dancers. Born in Hanover, Germany, Wigman began her dance training at a young age and went on to study under the renowned dance teacher, Ludwig Schumann. Her unique style, which emphasized the importance of the dancer's individual expression and emotional connection to the music, set her apart from her contemporaries. This portrait, with its striking composition and bold use of light and shadow, reflects the international acclaim that Wigman had earned by the early 1930s. She had already established herself as a leading figure in the modern dance movement and had toured extensively throughout Europe and the United States. Despite the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated field, Wigman remained committed to her art and continued to push the boundaries of dance throughout her long and influential career. Her groundbreaking work in the field of dance therapy, which used movement to promote physical and emotional healing, further solidified her place in dance history. This portrait serves as a testament to Wigman's enduring legacy and her profound impact on the world of dance. With her expressive face and intense gaze, she invites us to explore the depths of her artistry and to appreciate the beauty and power of movement.
