Bernheimer Buffalo Exotic Missionary Monica Pacific Palisades Palm Santa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Bernheimer Residence in Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, USA, during the 20th century. The image presents a striking contrast between the American West Coast and exotic elements of the East, as a missionary sits serenely atop a water buffalo amidst lush palm trees and an Oriental park. The Bernheimer Residence, located in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Santa Monica, was known for its unique blend of architectural styles and cultural influences. This particular scene showcases the intersection of Western and Eastern influences, with the missionary's attire and the water buffalo, an animal native to Asia, juxtaposed against the palm trees and California landscape. The water buffalo, a large and powerful animal, appears calm and obedient beneath the missionary, adding an element of intrigue and mystery to the scene. The palm trees, with their fronds reaching towards the sky, provide a sense of tranquility and paradise, further emphasizing the exotic allure of the setting. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Bernheimer Residence and the diverse cultural influences that shaped the American West Coast during the 20th century. The missionary's presence adds a layer of depth to the image, highlighting the role of religious figures in the exploration and settlement of new lands and the blending of cultures that resulted from global interactions.
