EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kanellos dance group at ancient sites in Greece, 1929' by Arnold Genthe, invites us to step back in time and witness a unique moment in history. The image features the renowned Greek dancer, Vassos Kanellos, and his group of male dancers, dressed in traditional Hellenistic apparel, performing against the breathtaking backdrop of ancient Greek ruins. The photo was taken during the 1920s, a time when the interest in ancient Greek culture was at an all-time high. The dancers, standing proudly in front of the ruined columns and exterior landscape, embody the rich heritage and history of ancient Greece. Their colorful costumes, reminiscent of the classical Greek attire, add a vibrant contrast to the monochromatic ruins. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, expertly captures the essence of this performance, with the dancers appearing both still and dynamic. The image was taken on location, outside, likely at an ancient site, and was captured on nitrate negative film, which adds to the vintage feel of the photograph. The Kanellos dance group's performance at these ancient sites was a testament to the enduring connection between the Greek people and their cultural heritage. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural past.
