Ballet Dancer Entracte Flapper Posing Stool 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Entr'acte," showcases the allure and elegance of a young ballet dancer or flapper girl in the midst of the 1920s cultural revolution. The photograph, taken in 1928, captures the essence of this transformative era, as traditional ballet and modern flapper culture began to intertwine and redefine the artistic landscape. The girl, dressed in a stunning, form-fitting costume, exudes confidence and charisma as she perches gracefully on an antique stool. Her bobbed hair, a symbol of the flapper movement, frames her face, adding to her contemporary flair. The delicate ballet slippers she wears, however, hint at her classical training and connection to the world of dance. The historical context of this photograph is particularly intriguing, as the 1920s marked a significant shift in societal norms and artistic expression. The intermission, or "entracte," between acts of a ballet performance provided the perfect backdrop for this fusion of old and new. During these brief moments, the audience would be entertained by various acts, including jazz bands, vaudeville performances, and even flapper dances. This photograph not only highlights the beauty and grace of the young dancer, but also serves as a testament to the rich history of dance and its ability to adapt and evolve with the times. The intricate details of her costume, the vintage stool, and the subtle backdrop all contribute to the timeless nature of this image, making it a must-have for any history or dance enthusiast's collection.
