EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Loves Game of Chess - Apollo watches the Muses dance" taken in 1937 by Emile-Aurele Van Moe, we are transported to a mystical realm where nature intertwines with art and mythology. The scene unfolds outdoors, amidst towering trees and lush greenery, creating an enchanting backdrop for the unfolding spectacle. At the center of attention stands Apollo, the deity of music and arts from Greek mythology. Clad in flowing robes, he gazes intently at a group of ethereal women known as the Muses. These divine beings captivate us with their graceful movements as they engage in a mesmerizing dance. The composition is filled with symbolism; each element carefully chosen to convey deeper meanings. A dog rests faithfully at Apollo's side, representing loyalty and companionship. In his hand, he holds a quiver symbolizing his connection to archery while also serving as a reminder of love's unpredictable nature. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice musical instruments scattered around – harps that emit celestial melodies adding harmony to this enchanting tableau. Van Moe's masterful use of light and shadow brings depth to every figure present. The contrasting tones create an atmosphere that oscillates between mystery and serenity. This print from Verve magazine transports us back to an era when art was revered for its ability to transport viewers into realms beyond reality itself. It serves as a testament not only to Van Moe's artistic prowess
