Acrobat 1921

"Acrobat," created in 1921 by Lebanese-American artist Karimeh Abbud, is a captivating photo of a young man performing a handstand on a chair. The chair's legs are replaced with wine bottles, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. Abbud, known for her unique perspective on everyday life, captures the dynamic energy of the acrobat and the playful spirit of the image. This photograph, likely a staged performance, offers a glimpse into the artistic and social atmosphere of the early 20th century.
