EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the poised and graceful form of Marion Morgan, an accomplished dancer of the early 20th century. The photograph was taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1914 and 1927. Marion is depicted with her head tilted back, her hair pulled back into a sleek bun, and her eyes closed as if lost in the music or the moment. She wears a simple yet elegant outfit, with a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt. The image was likely taken during a performance or rehearsal, as Marion's posture and body language suggest a deep connection to the art of dance. Arnold Genthe was a pioneering figure in American photography, known for his innovative use of glass negatives and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Marion Morgan is a testament to his skill and artistry, as well as a window into the world of early 20th century dance and performance. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to its historical and cultural significance. Marion Morgan's poised and poetic presence continues to captivate viewers, making this a timeless and evocative work of art.
