Notes
Acquisition: Gift; Alexandra Danilova
Biographical/historical: The donor of this collection, Alexandra Danilova, trained at the Imperial Ballet School and began her performing career in Russia, but left in 1924 with George Balanchine, for whom she was, for a time, muse and romantic partner. She danced with Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and other ballet companies, and for many fans she epitomized the glamourous Russian ballerina. Over the course of a long career, she amassed a considerable collection of artwork, much of it bestowed upon her by colleagues and fans. Although these prints are not unique items, they reveal something of her interests and taste in art.
