Unknown


The metallic backdrop for this photo of an unknown dancer might have been edgy at the time, it doesn't do much for me.  Van Vechten was more imaginative in his portrait work.

  2. Nice looking man.curious pose. Backdrop seems rare: out of place for that era. Would be more popular during the space age again even later.

    1. The pose is likely a dance move that would be easier to grasp as a movie. That metallic looking backdrop would have been somewhat avant garde at the time, I think.

    2. Oh yes, makes sense as a dance move.
