EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, two of the most renowned ballet dancers of the 20th century, Anton Dolin and Serge Lifar, are seen enjoying a leisurely moment at the famed Cannes Film Festival in 1939. The image captures the duo in casual attire, with Dolin wearing a striped shirt and trousers, and Lifar donning a sleeveless sweater and slacks. The pair, both in their early 30s, exude an air of sophistication and charm as they engage in conversation, their body language suggesting a deep connection and mutual respect. Anton Dolin, a British-born dancer, choreographer, and actor, was a leading figure in the world of ballet, having performed with the Ballets Russes under the direction of Serge Diaghilev. He later went on to form his own company, the Dolin Ballet, and was known for his versatility and technical mastery. Serge Lifar, a French dancer and choreographer, was a protégé of Diaghilev and a leading figure in the Ballets Russes. He later became the director of the Paris Opera Ballet and is remembered for his innovative choreography and charismatic stage presence. The photograph, taken during the glamorous and vibrant 1930s, captures the essence of the French Riviera and the allure of the international jet set. The image serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of these two ballet stars and their significant contributions to the world of dance.
