Summary | Eleanor King (1906-1991) was a modern dancer, choreographer, and educator who studied at Denishawn and joined the Humphrey-Weidman Company. Known for blending Eastern and Western influences in her choreography, she established her own company in Seattle and later taught at the University of Arkansas. Jane Grossenbacher (1951-2008) was a photographer who specialized in black-and white photogravures. The Cherie Jorgensen Collection on Jane Grossenbacher and Eleanor King consists chiefly of photographs that Grossenbacher took of King, as well as correspondence, an exhibit catalog, programs, and promotional materials that document their professional activities. |
