Provenance: From the collection of Dale Edward Fern (1924-1996), known for his work in dance theatre and a close friend of Carlotta O'Neill.Genthe was a pioneer of dance photography, producing "Book of Dance" in 1916 and "Isadora Duncan" in 1929. It was his photographs of Duncan which persuaded Dorothea Lang to come and study with him. (18208)
