Claire Bauroff

[shanmonster]

I happened across a few images of modern dancer Claire Bauroff and thought you also might like to see them.

Claire Bauroff was an Austrian dancer in the 1920s and 30s. I really don't know anything else about her.

I wish I had a bigger copy of this image, even if just to get a better gander at her bizarre crinolines.

This is probably the most famous photo of Bauroff. This photograph, called "The Turn", was taken in 1928 by Lotte Jacobi. "Famous Austrian dancer Claire Bauroff was at Jacobi's studio, dancing in tight quarters, when she danced a sequence which Jacobi felt was 'photogenic,' and the result, shot with minimal lights and her state-of-the-art cameras, has become one of her most famous images. It captures the essence of dance, movement and 'attitude'" (from Steven Schuyler Bookseller).

This nude was photographed by Trude Fleischmann in 1928.

This 1925 nude was also photographed by Trude Fleischmann.

I don't know if this is Claire Bauroff or not, but, like the last two images, this 1932 nude was photographed by Trude Fleischmann.

Wow, your website (and therefore your images) are blocked by the DND firewall. You must have content that's inappropriate for our nations' military forces.

I believe my entire site is blocked in Saudi Arabia, too.

My site is obviously very dangerous on a global scale.
