Every one has their Muse's and Rina has used women from all over history and art. In this case he jewellery was well under way when we happened upon this perfect image for the woman to wear the work in progress,freeing and helping the progress no end,but that's inspiration,that's the muse's job, or at least,place in the scheme of thing's.But it was the way in which she connects to so many other inspiration's that is so amazing to me.
She is Zinaida Gippus, ( 1869-1945 ) a Russian poet and described as " one of the most enigmatic and intelligent women of her time in Russia.The painting is by Leon Bakst ( 1866-1924 ) who was most famous for his set's and costume designs for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes and where does that not connect you to? Picasso,Chanel,Stravinsky,the list is really endless.And just look at her,with the George Sand cross dressing overtones and is she not a dead ringer for Marlene Dietrich?
Style and substance,just truly unbeatable forever.
