1898 2001 Ballerina Ballet Choreographer Dancer Director Founder Ninette Russe Valois
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Ninette De Valois, an English ballet dancer, director, and choreographer, in her prime during the 1930s. De Valois (1898-2001) is prominently featured in the image, dressed in a flowing white ballet costume, with her arms gracefully extended and her eyes focused intently on the horizon. The photograph was taken during her tenure with the Ballet Russe, a groundbreaking dance company that revolutionized the world of ballet in the early 20th century. De Valois, a ballerina of exceptional talent and artistry, later became a trailblazer in the world of ballet as the founder of the Royal Ballet in London. Her innovative choreography and visionary leadership transformed the art form, making it more accessible and relevant to contemporary audiences. This image is a testament to her dedication and passion for dance, which she shared with the world for over seven decades. The photograph's historical significance is further underscored by its association with the Ballet Russe, a company that brought together some of the most influential figures in modern dance, including George Balanchine, Lincoln Kirstein, and Leonide Massine. The company's fusion of traditional Russian ballet with contemporary Western influences paved the way for the development of neoclassical ballet, a style that continues to dominate the genre to this day. This photograph is an invaluable document of an era when ballet was on the cusp of great change, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Ninette De Valois, a true pioneer and visionary in the world of dance.
