Step into the enchanting world of the Artists Costume Ball, held at the Princes Galleries in February 1914. This photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases an array of extraordinary outfits worn by guests at this iconic event. The top right corner of the image reveals a vision of the future with a guest dressed in a striking, modernist domino-themed costume. The sleek, monochromatic ensemble, reminiscent of the futurist movement, is a bold statement of innovation and progress. The mask, a staple of the Venetian carnival tradition, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the already bizarre and strange display. The Artists Costume Ball was a time-honored annual tradition where the artistic community came together to celebrate creativity, self-expression, and the unconventional. Guests would spend hours at London department stores like Marshall and Snelgrove, carefully selecting their costumes for the evening. The result was an eclectic mix of fancy dress, artistic flair, and downright bizarre outfits. Each guest, as seen in this photograph, embraced the spirit of the event, donning elaborate and imaginative costumes that defied the norms of the time. The Artists Costume Ball was a night of pure joy, where guests could let their guard down, shed their inhibitions, and revel in the strange and beautiful world of art and self-expression. This photograph is a testament to the power of imagination and the freedom of self-expression, capturing a moment in time when the artistic community came together to celebrate the extraordinary and the unusual. A truly captivating snapshot of history, this image is a must-have for any art or fashion enthusiast's collection.
