Sara la Kali, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

A short article about Lucien Clergue's great photo of a gitane girl dancing on the beach at the site of the annual pilgrimage on the south coast of France.

The big picture: dancing on the beach in the Camargue, 1957

Great photograph! The gitane girl Draga does have a certain Mediterranean sensuality. But maybe that is what Clergue meant by "stirrings of post-war hedonism."
