EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic and versatile Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, Vaslav Nijinsky, in an unexpected setting. The image, taken around 1913, depicts Nijinsky in his tennis outfit, holding a racket with a determined expression on his face. The rolled sleeves of his shirt reveal toned, muscular arms, a testament to his athletic prowess both on and off the dance floor. Nijinsky, born in 1890, was a groundbreaking figure in the world of ballet. Known for his innovative choreography and electrifying performances, he challenged traditional ballet norms and paved the way for modern dance. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into another side of his multifaceted personality. Tennis was just one of Nijinsky's many passions outside of dance. He was an avid sportsman, known to enjoy tennis, fencing, and swimming. This photograph, taken during a break from his rigorous dance schedule, reveals Nijinsky's playful and relaxed side. Despite his many accomplishments, Nijinsky's career was cut short due to mental health issues. He retired from the stage in 1917 and spent the remainder of his life in and out of institutions. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and fascinating life of this legendary artist. The historical significance of this image is further emphasized by the intricate details of Nijinsky's tennis outfit. The high-waisted pants, belted waist, and short-sleeved shirt are reminiscent of the fashion trends of the early 20th century. This photograph is not only a captivating portrait of a brilliant artist but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the life and times of Vaslav Nijinsky.
