Bianchi Expression Grace Named Tall Tango Restraint Shows
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 photograph captures the essence of the Tango dance in its early days, as a passionate and expressive art form that captivated the world. The image features a woman named Tango Bianchi, dressed in an elegant gown and adorned with a tall, extravagant hat. Her face is expressionless, yet her body moves with the grace and restraint that defined the Tango's unique style. The Tango originated in the late 19th century in the working-class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and quickly spread to Europe and beyond. By the early 1910s, it had become a global sensation, and dancers like Tango Bianchi helped to popularize the dance in high society. The Tango was characterized by its sensual and intense movements, which were often performed with great passion and emotion. But as it spread to new audiences, it also became subject to criticism and controversy. Some saw the dance as vulgar and immoral, while others celebrated it as a symbol of modernity and liberation. Despite the debates, the Tango continued to thrive, inspiring new generations of dancers and musicians. Today, it remains a beloved and enduring part of our cultural heritage, a testament to the power of music and dance to bring people together and express the human experience. This photograph, taken circa 1914, is a beautiful and fascinating glimpse into the history of the Tango and the women who danced it with grace, restraint, and unforgettable style.
