Primus, Pearl. (1919–1994) [Lindquist, John. (1910–1985)]. "Excerpts from an African Journey" - Signed Photograph from Jacob's Pillow. A rare signed photograph from the influential American dancer, choreographer, and anthropologist who played an important role in the presentation of African dance to American audiences. Inscribed "To Paul /Best Wishes / Sincerely / Pearl E. Primus" in black ink to the lower right corner. The photograph was taken by dance photographer John Lindquist, the longtime photographer for Jacob's Pillow. Photographer's stamp to verso. Some surface crazing, small crack to upper right edge, overall in fine condition. 10 x 8 inches (25.4 x 20.3 cm.).
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
Primus is shown in an action photo with traditional African costume elements and with two drummers partially visible behind her. The photograph is from her second visit to Jacob's Pillow, July 21 and 22, 1950, after she had returned from Africa several months earlier, and during which she her new works were performed in a section of the program titled "Excerpts from an African Journey."
John Lindquist (1890–1980), who had begun photographing Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers in 1938, was the official photographer of the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival until his death in 1980. In this role, he knew and photographed many of the most important American dancers of the mid-twentieth century, as well as traditional dancers from cultures around the world. A collection of more than 7,000 of Lindquist's dance photographs is held at Houghton Library at Harvard.
