EDITORS COMMENTS
"This portrait captures the essence of American modern dance pioneers Ted Shawn and Ruth St. Denis as they gracefully perform the ancient Aztec dance of King Tepaucaltzin at London's Coliseum in 1922. Ted Shawn, dressed in regal attire, embodies the spirit of the mythical king, while his wife and dance partner, Ruth St. Denis, adds an ethereal quality to the performance as the goddess of the moon. The image, published in a world-renowned magazine of the 1920s, showcases the innovative fusion of jazz and world dance influences that defined their groundbreaking work. The vibrant energy and timeless elegance of this photograph transport us back to an era of artistic exploration and cultural exchange, making it a must-have addition to any collection of dance history or 1920s ephemera."
