#18: Alla Nazimova (1920s)

Alla Nazimova turns Easter into high-concept surrealism in this striking photo. Perched atop an oversized mushroom, clad in a sleek bodysuit with dramatic bunny ears and whiskers that stretch like stage props, she cradles a rabbit as if it’s part of a performance.

The stark black backdrop and her expressive pose give the image a theatrical edge that feels more avant-garde than festive. It’s less about holiday cheer and more about transformation—Easter as interpreted by a silent film icon with a flair for the unconventional.
