Atelier Setzer* :: German dancers Joachim von Seewitz and Lo Hesse, Vienna, 1918 / from: Sport und Salon

Dancers Lo Hesse and Joachim von Seewitz were active in Munich and Berlin between 1916 and 1920. Their dances relied heavily on extravagantly exotic costumes designed mostly by the Munich expressionist artist Walter Schnackenberg. The couple favoured fantastically Oriental, Venetian, Spanish, or rococo costumes that had the effect of making dance a sign of refined luxury and exquisite voluptuousness.
