Lisa Duncan is shown mid-leap on open grass, a pose that captures the free, barefoot style of movement associated with the Isadora Duncan circle of modern dance. Arnold Genthe, a German-born photographer who worked in San Francisco and New York in the early 1900s, was known for portraits of performers and for dance photographs that caught motion without the stiffness of studio posing. The record does not give a date, but images like this one helped spread the idea that dance could be natural and outdoors, not confined to the proscenium stage.
