Taste for Russian Ballet

A hauntingly atmospheric bromoil print by Gregori Maiofis, this work evokes the golden age of Russian Ballet through richly textured, painterly tones characteristic of the bromoil process. Maiofis masterfully employs the medium's distinctive ink-on-silver quality to conjure a dreamlike tableau that blurs the boundary between photography and fine art printmaking.
