EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Atlas, the society athletes" captures a fascinating blend of strength, elegance, and mythology. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a group of muscular men dressed in leotards and weights. It is an unusual sight that piques one's interest. The man at the center of attention stands out with his impressive physique and distinctive moustache. His broad profile exudes power and determination as he engages in training exercises alongside his fellow athletes. The choice of clothing adds a touch of sophistication to their sporty appearance – smart suits that highlight both their physical prowess and refined taste. The reference to Atlas, a mythological figure known for carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, adds depth to this composition. It invites contemplation about the intersection between ancient paganism or polytheism with modern society's obsession with physicality. As we delve into this photograph's layers, it becomes clear that it goes beyond capturing mere muscle-bound individuals; it explores themes such as religion, mythology, and societal expectations surrounding body image. This thought-provoking piece challenges us to reflect on our own beliefs about strength and beauty while appreciating its artistic value.
