EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the golden age of ballet as we witness the grace and beauty of Jia Ruskaja, prima ballerina of the renowned Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Taken between 1932 and 1935 by the talented photographer Fernando Pasta, this print captures a moment frozen in time. Jia Ruskaja stands tall and elegant on a scenic stage, her costume exuding an air of timeless sophistication. Every detail is meticulously captured - from her exquisite clothing that drapes gracefully around her body to her perfectly coiffed hairdo that frames her delicate face. Her hand delicately rests on her hip, adding a touch of poise to this already mesmerizing portrait. The photographer's keen eye focuses not only on Jia Ruskaja's physical form but also on the artistry behind it. The play of light and shadow accentuates every curve and contour, highlighting both strength and vulnerability. With each line traced by her nude legs or extended arm, we can almost feel the passion emanating from this dedicated dancer. This image goes beyond mere documentation; it encapsulates the essence of dance as an art form. It reminds us why ballet has captivated audiences for centuries - its ability to transport us into another world where movement becomes poetry. As we gaze upon Jia Ruskaja's portrait, we cannot help but be drawn into her world – a world where dreams take flight through graceful leaps and pirouettes. This photograph serves as a testament to both Jia Ruskaja's extraordinary talent as well as Fernando Pasta's skillful craftsmanship behind the lens. It is with great admiration that we behold this remarkable piece capturing one woman's dedication to perfection in pursuit of artistic expression within one of Italy’s most prestigious theaters.
