EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Achille Beltrame, depicting a heart-stopping moment in Chicago during the early 1930s. In this daring illustration for Courier Sunday on February 19th, 1933, we witness an iconic American acrobat performing death-defying gymnastic exercises suspended 130 meters above the ground. Balancing precariously on a ladder suspended by ropes between two towering skyscrapers, this fearless stuntman risks his life to entertain and earn a living. The image captures the attention of a mesmerized crowd below who watch with bated breath as he fearlessly navigates the dangerous heights. The photograph showcases not only the incredible physical prowess of this daredevil but also highlights the audacity and thrill-seeking nature that has come to define America's spirit. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our insatiable desire for adventure. Beltrame's masterful composition emphasizes both danger and beauty simultaneously. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates an atmosphere of suspense while showcasing the vastness of the sky above. This image symbolizes not only one man's bravery but also represents America's relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries and reaching new heights. "In countries where it is exaggerated" stands as an enduring reminder of our collective fascination with risk-taking, reminding us that sometimes we must defy gravity to truly feel alive.
