EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment as a blind Gusli player, Boris Zvorykin, concentrates intently on his music in Russia during the early 1900s. The Gusli, an ancient East Slavic multi-string plucked instrument, is rooted in the city of Veliky Novgorod, located on the Volkhov River. Belonging to the zither family, the Gusli is considered the oldest instrument of its kind in Russia, with a rich history that predates even the founding of Moscow. The image of Boris Zvorykin, with his expressive face and focused gaze, embodies the deep connection between the musician and his instrument. The Gusli, with its intricate design and delicate strings, sits comfortably in his hands, as if an extension of his very being. The dimly lit room, adorned with traditional Russian decor, adds to the sense of timelessness and authenticity. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and the human spirit. Despite his blindness, Boris Zvorykin is able to create beauty and emotion through his mastery of the Gusli. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the importance of preserving its traditions. The Neo-Russian Art Movement, which emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, played a significant role in promoting and celebrating the unique artistic and cultural traditions of Russia. This photograph, with its intimate and authentic portrayal of Boris Zvorykin and his Gusli, is a prime example of the movement's influence and impact.
