EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Eva Tanguay, a trailblazing entertainer of the Jazz Age, in 1919. Known as the "Queen of Vaudeville," Tanguay rose to fame in the early 1900s for her energetic performances on the stage and her bold, unconventional persona. By the 1910s, she had become a household name, gracing the covers of popular magazines and headlining shows in New York City's most prestigious theaters. In this image, Tanguay's youthful and vibrant energy shines through, as she gazes intently at the viewer with a confident and mischievous smile. Her fashionable yet daring outfit, with its plunging neckline and fringed skirt, reflects the flapper spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The backdrop of the photograph, adorned with ornate gold detailing, adds an air of glamour and sophistication. At the height of her career, Tanguay was often compared to silent film stars like Mary Pickford and Greta Garbo, and her influence extended beyond the stage to the burgeoning world of cinema. She appeared in several films during the 1910s and 1920s, including "The Jazz Age" and "The Broadway Bohemians." This portrait is a testament to Tanguay's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in American entertainment, who defied convention and captivated audiences with her charisma and talent. With her bold spirit and infectious energy, Eva Tanguay remains an icon of the Jazz Age and a symbol of the transformative power of art and creativity.
