MASK AND DANCE - Lot 233
MASK AND DANCE Dancer, 1940s. Photo by Cassati, silver gelatin print on vintage card stock, photographer’s stamp on the back. 23 x 17.5 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1940s by the photographer Cassati, combines the themes of masks and dance, two elements deeply rooted in the history of the performing arts. Depicting a dancer in a carefully staged composition, the image evokes both theatrical traditions and aesthetic explorations centered on movement, costume, and bodily expression. The mask, a symbol of transformation and the play of identity, has long held an essential place in dance, theater, and ritual ceremonies, while photography here captures its visual and poetic dimension. Printed on card stock, this vintage print reflects the interest in performance photography and formal explorations of movement during the 1940s. It serves as an elegant testament to the choreographic and theatrical world of that period.
