EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of individuals who proudly called themselves the Apaches. Standing in a row, they exude an air of confidence and camaraderie that is palpable even through the lens of time. From left to right, we see Ricardo Vines, the Spanish pianist whose name coined this artistic collective. Next to him stands Madame and Monsieur Robert Mortier, a French painter and artist known for his avant-garde approach. Abbe Leonce Petit, a friend of Maurice Ravel and chaplain at the Paris Opera, joins them with his dignified presence. Finally, there is Maurice Ravel himself - the renowned French composer who would go on to shape musical history. The Apaches were not just friends; they were kindred spirits bound by their dedication to defending contemporary music from criticism. In this portrait, taken around 1900 during the Belle Époque era in France, we witness their unity as outcasts challenging societal norms. Through this image captured by an anonymous French photographer from the 20th century's private collection, we glimpse into a moment frozen in time - one filled with friendship and creative rebellion against conventionality. As we observe these musicians posing together - some standing tall while others are seated at a piano - it becomes evident that their bond transcends mere acquaintanceship. They represent an era when artists dared to push boundaries and forge new paths in pursuit of artistic excellence. This photograph serves as both a testament to their enduring friendship and as a reminder of how art can unite souls across generations.
