La Belle Otéro, Leo Rauth, 1910

Ruth St. Denis, Schlangentanz, Leo Rauth

All I can send you today are these images by Leo Rauth (1884 – 1913). They feature dancers one of whom is American modern dance “pioneer” (Wikipedia), Ruth St. Denis  (20 January 1879 – 21 July 1968), shown above performing a “snake dance,” without the snake. They also feature la Belle Otéro (4 November 1868 – 12 April 1965).  (Wikipedia)

Leo Rauth also designed rather “poetical” clothes.

I found a lovely piece of music by Oswin Haas.

This may be one of my shortest posts, but I wanted to show more artworks by Rauth, who did a number of pochoirs. But more importantly, I wanted to keep in touch and send everyone my best regards.
