EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Circus: the two faces of Barbette (Vander Clyde): the real face of Barbette who is a man" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of circus performers. The image showcases the enigmatic figure known as Barbette, portrayed by Vander Clyde, whose true identity as a man is revealed in this mesmerizing shot. In Les follies du Music Hall, an artistic creation by J. Damase, we witness the duality of Barbette's existence - one face representing his on-stage persona and another revealing his authentic self. This intriguing contrast adds depth to our understanding of performance art and challenges societal norms surrounding gender roles. The unknown artist behind this masterpiece has skillfully captured both vulnerability and strength in Vander Clyde's expression. Through their lens, they have immortalized a moment that invites contemplation about identity and self-expression. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every intricate detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate not only the subject but also the craftsmanship involved in creating such an evocative piece. As we delve into this historical photograph from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported to a time when circuses were at their peak popularity. It serves as a reminder that even within entertainment spectacles lies profound human complexity waiting to be explored.
