EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the legendary Isadora Duncan in the prime of her career, between 1915 and 1923. The image, created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Duncan in a moment of deep contemplation and anguish as she stands on the edge of a stage, her arm outstretched and veil billowing in the wind. The setting is the United States, during the 1910s, a time when Duncan's innovative dance style, characterized by its naturalism and freedom, was captivating audiences across the country. Genthe's glass negative captures Duncan in a full-length profile view, her young and slender figure clad in a flowing, form-fitting costume that accentuates her grace and elegance. The contrast between her still, introspective posture and the dynamic, fluid movement suggested by the veil and her slightly raised, tiptoeing stance creates a captivating juxtaposition. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Duncan and Genthe, whose works continue to inspire and influence the world of performing arts to this day.
