In this picture of beauty, grace, light & elegance, Capa has captured the essecence of ballet. The image shows ballerinas working at the bar with a large mirror further into the picture and at the end of the row. The diagonal gives the image a feeling of action and movement. The mirror shows a juxtaposition of the reality of each ballerina's hard work with the mirrored illusion of effortlessness. Cornell Capa b. Budapest (HUN) 1918. Bolshoi Ballet School, Moscow 1958 Gelatin silver print.
