A series of photographs by Eugene, which he published as individual photographs under the title Mosaic, constituted a high point in dance photography. It was with this particular motif that Eugene’s radical and “unphotographic” method of “photo-etching” attained a high degree of expressiveness. The composition awakens formal associations with dancing and achieves its dynamism not so much as a result of the dancer’s pose as of the photograph’s rich background ornamentation. Heart-shaped points in concentric spirals joint up to form dynamic lines of force whose rhythmic structure is reminiscent of comparable ornamental structures in paintings by Klimt, Moreau, Stuck or Spillaert.
