"Trio of Women Dancing" (1918)
Photograph from Dancing with Helen Moller
One of a series of 43 plates depicting classical dance from the book Dancing with Helen Moller which is described as, "a statement of her philosophy, practice, and teaching formed upon the classic Greek model, and adapted to meet the aesthetic and hygienic needs of today."
This image is captioned, "The Classic Ideal—and Ours world! Not even Michelangelo could grasp it. His vision is of man burdened and disquieted, oppressed by mysteries which he cannot penetrate, writhing in conflict with forces too great for his control. In the sculptures of the Greeks, on the other hand, man is calm and untroubled—and the gods, we must remember, are but man exalted and made immortal."
