Photograph of Theodore Kosloff (1882-1956), dancer.
Character representing “The Spirit of Electricity”
Work: Ballet Mécanique
Directed by: Leroy Prinz
Context: Production linked to Cecil B. DeMille (Madame Satan, MGM musical film, 1930)
The costume is typical of the Art Deco/Futurist style of the 1920s–30s, with lightning bolt motifs, symmetry, and a “machine” aesthetic.

Artistic Significance
This photograph has several strengths:
Strong Art Deco aesthetic (sought after today)
Theme: modernity, electricity, machine – typical of the interwar period
Staging with spectacular play of shadows
Highly graphic costume, close to design and fashion
This is the kind of image that appeals to collectors of:
early cinema
dance
vintage photography
Art Deco design.
