EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal presence of Elizabeth Duncan and her dancers, taken between 1916 and 1941 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the dancers in an al fresco setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the open sky. Dressed in flowing chiffon garments, the dancers are barefoot, connecting deeply with the earth beneath their feet. Their bodies are in motion, expressing graceful hand gestures and fluid movements that evoke the spirit of ancient Grecian dance. The black and white nitrate negative adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The dancers' bare feet, gesturing in unison, add a raw, earthy element to the elegant costumes. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American dance during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, and a beautiful example of the artistry and innovation of Elizabeth Duncan and her company.
