Greenwich Village Follies, September 8, 1920: A Captivating Moment of Commedia dell'Arte in Greenwich Village, Manhattan This evocative photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on September 8, 1920, immortalizes a mesmerizing moment from the Greenwich Village Follies in Manhattan, New York City. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, transports us back to the vibrant and eclectic 1920s, a time of cultural experimentation and artistic flair. The young woman, dressed in a flowing, white and black costume reminiscent of Pierrot from Commedia dell'Arte, gazes directly at the camera with an enchanting expression. Her gaze invites us into her world, a world of whimsy and theatricality. The man, also dressed in period attire, looks on from the background, his expression a mixture of amusement and admiration. The setting is the Greenwich Village Playhouse, a historic location that once served as a hub for avant-garde theater and performance art. The image captures the essence of the Follies, a theatrical production that showcased a blend of music, dance, and comedy, often with a distinctly Italian flavor. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the past, a glimpse into a moment in time when the arts were at the forefront of American culture. The image is a treasure from our heritage, a still image that tells a story of a time long gone but never forgotten.
