EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Kanellos dance group at ancient sites in Greece, 1929,' was captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases the Kanellos dance group, led by Vassos Kanellos, performing at an ancient site in Greece during the 1920s. The group, dressed in traditional Greek apparel, is seen interacting with the architectural features of a ruined temple or amphitheater. The dancers, both male and female, display a sense of alliance and unity as they perform, their postures expressive and full of emotion. One man and one woman are shown holding hands, reaching out towards each other, while another man looks back at the scene with a thoughtful expression. The ancient site, with its balustrade and ruined columns, serves as a striking backdrop to the performance, adding to the sense of history and heritage. The image, taken in the twenties, is a still representation of a bygone era, capturing the essence of the Hellenistic period and the rich cultural heritage of Greece. The photograph, a nitrate negative, is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress and is a testament to the enduring power of art and performance.
