EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1914, the elegant Tango duo, named Finetti, gracefully navigate the dance floor despite the woman's extravagant, enormous hat. The image, a testament to the enduring allure of the Tango, was published in a magazine of the time, showcasing the historical significance of this passionate and expressive dance. The Tango, an Argentine dance that originated in the late 19th century, had already captivated the world by 1914. Its seductive and sensual steps, characterized by close body contact and intricate footwork, had spread beyond its South American origins, becoming a global sensation. Despite the challenges that the enormous hat of the woman in the photograph might pose, the Finetti couple manages to tango with ease and finesse. Their bodies move in perfect harmony, their eyes locked, and their expressions filled with intensity and emotion. The man's hand rests possessively on the woman's waist, pulling her close as they execute the intricate steps that define the Tango. The couple's attire is also noteworthy, reflecting the Art Deco aesthetic of the time. The woman wears a flowing, ornate dress, adorned with intricate beadwork and fringe, while the man dons a sharp suit and a bowler hat. The setting, a dimly lit ballroom, adds to the romantic and mysterious atmosphere of the photograph. This image of the Finetti Tango duo, with their enormous hats and expressive dance moves, is a reminder of the rich history and allure of the Tango. It invites us to imagine the passion and emotion that must have filled the dance floor as this couple, and countless others, danced the night away.
