O’Hanlon and Zambuni, Orval Hixon

Description: Kathleen O’Hanlon and her husband, Theadore Zambuni, were both born in Samos, Greece. Billed as the “Greatest European Character Dancers.” In this portrait, Hixon captured O’Hanlon and Zambuni in an intimate flamenco dance pose, with each dancer’s posture in complete harmony with the other’s. Hixon chemically manipulated the background of this photograph to enhance the central figures, adding light auras that highlight and swirl around the dancers.
