Duncan, Isadora. (1877–1927). Matched Pair of Original 1905 Elvira Cabinet Photographs. "The famous American barefoot dancer, Isadora Duncan performed last night ... and was a success with her dance idylls in which she transforms music into plastic art and at the same time makes alive the figures from old paintings. ... This ‘dancer of the future’ ... is nude or almost nude under a light robe." - Notice in the Danish paper Politiken, April 24, 1906



A very rare pair of original cabinet photographs of the great dancer and choreographer - one of the major inovators of the medium. Both photographs by the Elvira Studio of Munich, both stamped 1905 and in very fine condition. 8 x 17 cm.



Duncan was rarely photographed and Max Eastman said of her: "It was never easy to coax Isadora Duncan into a photographer's studio. Like a wild and wise animal, she fled from those who sought to capture the essence of her - which was motion - by making her stand still."
