I just saw your web site when looking for information on Yvonne Daunt, who was my Aunt. I too do not know much about her as I believe she went to live in the States in the 1930s and her brother, my father went to live in Australia with his parents. I believe she married a man named Graves and died in about 1960. I know from family stories that she trained at Paris Opera and also later with Isadora. I have a reference to her in a book called Pageant of the Dance and Ballet where she is listed as appearing at the Coliseum in 1922 "other visitors to the Coliseum including the Ruth St Denis and Ted Shawn Company, Mme Karsavina, Yvonne Daunt and the Sakharoffs." I also know that she was married to Allan Stein and had a son Daniel. She was, I believe, painted by Matisse and I have just found a site for the Fondation Louis Jou in France which holds an illustrated book dated 1925 of 15 gravures and 2 dessins of "la danseuse Yvonne Daunt. I would be very interested if anyone has come across any further information of Yvonne Daunt.
