| A Bohemian is a citizen of Bohemia, once a land locked country in central Europe that is now part of Czech Republic. Bohemia was also once thought to be the homeland of the gypsies. |
|
Being a citizen of Bohemia and living the life of a gypsy with no fixed domicile this circus man can call himself a Bohemian by birthright and lifestyle. |
|
Only in the nineteen century a Parisian poet associated the name Bohemia with arts and artists. A Bohemian became a person who lived the life of a gypsy artist. Here a circus clown in front of the circus tent. |
|
Bohemians belong to a creative community of artists, painters, sculptors and writers. Here a circus juggler. She is an artist in her own right and like any of her colleagues she is a Bohemian in every meaning of the word. |
|
A Bohemian does not care about possessions. It's their choice to secede from a bourgeois life. Most Bohemians died of poverty and misery, but the artists of the Cechie circus are able to make a living while pursuing their vocation. |
