Marion Morgan Dancers: A Timeless Duet in the 1910s-1920s This photograph, captured between 1914 and 1927 by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases two Marion Morgan dancers in an outdoor setting. The dancers, dressed in semi-dress attire, exude an air of elegance and grace as they engage in a synchronized dance routine. One dancer raises her arm in a graceful gesture, while the other looks back, her expression filled with concentration and focus. The image transports us back to a bygone era, a time when dance was a popular form of entertainment and expression in the United States. The Morgan Dance Company, founded by Marion Morgan in 1914, was known for its innovative and captivating performances that blended elements of traditional and modern dance styles. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering photographer, expertly captured the essence of this dynamic duo in this stunning image. The photograph, taken on nitrate negative film, showcases the dancers' identical postures and the harmony between them, making it a true testament to the power of movement and art. The location of this photograph is not explicitly stated, but the outdoor setting and the contrast between the dancers' white and black attire suggest a performance in an open-air venue. This image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of America during the 1910s and 1920s.
