Costume Designs by Salvador Dali for his ballet bacchanale, Paris
A striking gelatin silver print by the renowned fashion and portrait photographer Horst P. Horst, this image captures the fantastical costume designs created by Salvador Dalí for his surrealist ballet *Bacchanale*, which premiered in Paris in 1939. The photograph showcases Dalí's characteristically dreamlike and provocative aesthetic, blending classical mythological themes with his signature surrealist imagery. Printed later from the original negative, the gelatin silver print preserves the rich tonal contrasts and meticulous detail that defined Horst's celebrated photographic style.
