Christiane Govy. Ballet dancer of Nice Opera. Nice 1951. Contact prints. Photos from original negatives available.
A 1951 contact sheet displays twelve studies of Christiane Govy, a ballet dancer with the Nice Opera. Photographed on a rugged, sunlit coastline, she strikes various dynamic and graceful poses inspired by her craft. Wearing a patterned two-piece swimsuit, Govy performs with joyful confidence, her movements ranging from poised balances on the rocks to elegant extensions and high kicks. The aged page itself, with a typed label identifying the subject, presents the square, black-and-white images in a three-by-four grid.
