One of the most accomplished names in dance. Nureyev was known for his leaps and fast turns which mesmerized the audience. A charismatic performer and personality, he is credited for expanding the audience for ballet. For the first time, photographer Ralph Fase will offer his intimate images of the famed dancer taken in Paris from 1974-1982. As chronicled as his career was, these photographs have never been published. Taken on and off the stage, they offer a personal glimpse of the dancer. The images were taken during the most successful years of his career. The book will be organized according to ballet, offering Nureyev fans specifically and ballet fans more generally a bit of ballet history.
