Photographs of Robert McCabe, whose portraits captured Greece in the ’50s and ’60s, will be shown on the island of Mykonos castle and archaeological museum in it until October 31 and December 31, respectively, ANA reports.
McCabe first came to Greece in 1954 as a Princeton student and returned in 1955 to photograph the Aegean. In 1957 he was offered an assignment to photograph the Cycladic Islands for the National Geographic Society and has been capturing Greece on film since then. The photographs reflect both locations and the people of Greece, recording traditions and culture.
Describing what the island was like in 1955, he said it resembled an independent island principality with special culture, dances, song, poetry, cooking, fabrics, architecture, and language.
