> DESCRIPTION

Scott Nichols Gallery is proud to announce the opening of our latest exhibition Rhythmic Vitality: Dances in Silver, photographs by Barbara Morgan. The show will include a selection of works of expressionistic dance, incorporating her manipulated and multiple imagery.

“The only record of a dancer's instrument is his body bounded by birth and death. When he perishes his art perishes also...The work of an individual can be explained, criticized, or eulogized by means of the written word...Photographs present more tangible evidence of a dancer's career. Photographs, when true to the laws that govern inspired photography, reveal fact of feature, bodily contour, and some secret of his power.”

Martha Graham, “Dancer's Focus,” in Barbara Morgan's, Martha Graham: Sixteen Dances in Photographs.
