1966 Ballet Dancer Dancers Performer Performers Setting

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of two dedicated ballet dancers, lost in conversation and momentarily at ease, during an intermission at a 1960s English ballet performance. The male dancer, with his strong and sculpted physique, leans in intently towards his female counterpart, who gazes back at him with a thoughtful expression. Both dancers are dressed in their formal ballet attire, a testament to their unwavering commitment to their craft. The dimly lit bar, with its worn wooden surface and smoky atmosphere, creates an intimate and cozy setting. The dancers' bodies cast elongated shadows on the wall behind them, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue. The photograph, taken circa 1966, transports us back in time to an era when ballet was a captivating and enchanting art form. Despite the informal setting, the dancers' poise and grace are evident, even as they engage in a casual conversation. The photograph invites us to imagine the stories they could tell about their experiences on stage and behind the scenes. It is a poignant reminder of the human side of ballet, a world of dedication, discipline, and camaraderie. This photograph, from The Japics Historic Photography Collection/Mary Evans, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of ballet dancers during the 1960s, a time when the art form was undergoing significant changes and evolution. It is a beautiful and evocative image that speaks to the enduring allure of ballet and the unique bond between its performers.
