Recommended Posts

these three publicity photos, submitted to US newspapers date over a 5-year period, mid-20th century from 1939 to 1944.

Marina Semyonova's is datelined Moscow, and documents a dancer not seen in the US.

Tamara Toumanova's photos note her presence in the States, on stage and screen.

That photo of Toumanova in mid air is a real surprise. Not that Toumanova could jump, but that a press photographer in the 30s could capture the sense of controlled abandon that jumps like this evoke. I don't think you find this very often in the staged Ballets Russes publicity photos of the period. Thanks, rg. tiphat.gif
