EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kanellos dance group at ancient sites in Greece, 1929' by Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1920s and the rich cultural heritage of ancient Greece. The image features a group of dancers, led by Vassos Kanellos, clad in traditional Greek apparel, standing before the ruins of an ancient site. The dancers, both male and female, exhibit expressive postures and gestures, their arms raised and hands gesturing in mid-performance. The women wear flowing dresses, some with colorful patterns, while the men don simple tunics and pantaloons. The backdrop of the photograph is a stunning Hellenistic ruin, with a doorway and a portal framing the scene. The dancers seem to be performing outside, amidst the ruins, surrounded by the beauty of the Greek landscape. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the vintage feel of the image, further emphasizing the historical significance of the moment. Arnold Genthe, a renowned American photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the connection between the ancient Greek heritage and contemporary dance. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Greek culture and the art of dance. The two-person company, Kanellos, is known for its authentic and traditional Greek dance performances, making this photograph an invaluable addition to any collection of Greek heritage art or dance history.
