Dance study by de Meyer

Adolf de Meyer :: [Dance study], ca. 1912. Platinum print | source The Metropolitan Museum of Art via wikimedia commons

It has been suggested that this photograph, the only [known] nude by de Meyer, has some connection to the Ballets Russes, but the nature of that link remains mysterious. The image vibrates with an uneasy erotic tension, a product of the figure’s exposed torso, startled body language, and disguised identity. (quoted from The Met)
