EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Aphrodite (In Water) 1920-25" captures the essence of beauty and mythology. Taken by renowned American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis between 1920 and 1925, this blue-toned gelatin silver print showcases his mastery in capturing the human form. The image depicts a female figure floating gracefully in water, reminiscent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite emerging from the sea. The model's semi-nude state adds an air of vulnerability and sensuality to the composition. Through this photograph, Curtis explores themes of love, femininity, and mythological symbolism. Curtis was known for his extensive documentation of Native American cultures but also ventured into other subjects like this ethereal portrayal of Aphrodite. His attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image - from the delicate play of light on her skin to the gentle ripples in the water surrounding her. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been made available through Bridgeman Images. It serves as a testament to Curtis' artistic vision and technical skill as he seamlessly blends classical mythology with contemporary photography techniques. As we gaze upon "Aphrodite (In Water) 1920-25" we are transported into a world where ancient myths come alive through modern artistry. This photograph invites us to contemplate timeless themes such as beauty, love, and our connection with nature – all captured within one mesmerizing frame.
