Flying Gaonas (1960s) Southern Sawdust

FLYERS_CARD_2_1_1

Wilson Poarch published a grand magazine devoted to circus art during the 1960s and the 1970s he placed this photograph of an American sensational flying trapeze act. The photograph was taken outside at an event we call ‘a gala’ but the Americans call ‘Carnival’. Just for artistic licence I have placed the act within a circus tent. The name was The Flying Gaonas. Oils.
