Product description
This Martha Graham dance print reproduces Barbara Morgan’s celebrated 1937 photograph Celebration (the ‘Trio’): three dancers from the Martha Graham Dance Company frozen at the height of a leap, bodies stretched into a single explosive line. Morgan (1900–1992) is remembered as the great photographer of American modern dance, and this is one of her signature images — held in collections including the Museum of Modern Art.
What makes it so wall-worthy is the energy: the diagonal of the leaping figures against clean space turns the photograph into something almost abstract, full of motion yet perfectly balanced. It brings life to a dance studio, a stairwell, a home gym or a minimalist gallery wall, and pairs well with other black and white photography prints and fine art photography. For a kindred sense of poise and movement, Eisenstaedt’s classic ballerinas at the window sits beside it nicely; browse more on the photography prints hub.
Offered as a fine-art reproduction in a range of sizes; stock and finish are described on the print quality and materials page.
What does the photograph show?

Is This print?
