This exhibition brings the original stakes into focus and explores the enduring impact of one of Matisse’s most iconic works. ALSO Dance and photography operate on different temporal planes. One unfolds over time through fluid movement, whereas the other freezes that motion in a single, suspended frame. Something electric happens when these two art forms merge. Since the early 20th century, photographers have been drawn to dancers not only to document them but to grapple with the problem of rendering motion through stillness. As technology improved, dance photography moved beyond an advertising function. Photographers began to make images in which rhythm was palpable. Drawn primarily from SFMOMA’s permanent collection, Feel the Beat: Dance in Photographs traces different ways image makers have represented dance.
