EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kanellos dance group at ancient sites in Greece, 1929,' showcases the enchanting performance of the Kanellos dance group amidst the ruins of an ancient Greek amphitheater. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this image transports us back to the 1920s, a time when the allure of ancient Greece continued to captivate the world. The elevated aerial view offers a unique perspective of the group, with the dancers dressed in traditional Hellenistic apparel, holding hands and forming a circle around the center stage. The women, adorned in flowing white dresses, and the men, in fitted tunics, create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the ancient ruins. The location of this performance is not specified, but the image exudes an air of timelessness and authenticity, as if we are witnessing a performance that has been taking place for centuries. The group's connection to the ancient site is further emphasized by the ruined playhouse and the vast, open landscape that stretches out beyond the amphitheater. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the essence of the moment, make this photograph a true testament to the power of vintage photography. This image, held in the Library of Congress, is a precious reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
