There's probably some Classical reference here, but I don't know what it is.
I believe that is a photo from Ted Shawn's dancing school in the 1920's in Los Angeles (Denishawn). He was the husband of Ruth St. Denis, the famous early 20th century dancer. I think it was probably a lavender marriage.
The offering to the gods ?
ReplyDeleteProbably. Thanks!
DeleteIt's a classic Greco-Roman pose used in many frescoes and friezes of ancient Greece and Roman sculptures.

Yes. It is a photo from Ted Shawn's dancing school. It may be cropped from a larger picture showing a number of boys who were such students.
