EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kanellos dance group at ancient sites in Greece, 1929,' by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the 1920s and the beautiful landscapes of ancient Greece. The image features the Kanellos dance group, led by Vassos Kanellos, performing against the backdrop of a ruined Hellenistic portal. The dancers, dressed in traditional Greek apparel, are seen holding hands and gesturing gracefully, their arms raised and up, as they move in unison. The contrast between the modern dancers and the ancient ruins creates a striking juxtaposition, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Greece. Genthe, known for his mastery of the nitrate negative process, expertly captures the essence of the moment, with the dancers' postures and expressions conveying a sense of joy and connection to the past. The photograph was taken outside, likely at an ancient site, with the dancers framed by a doorway or archway, adding to the sense of history and tradition. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring allure of ancient Greece and the power of dance to transport us across time and space. The vintage fashion of the dancers, with their simple yet elegant costumes, adds to the overall charm of the photograph, making it a must-see for anyone interested in history, dance, or the art of photography.
