books0977: Dancer Tanaquil LeClerq in Ballet Society, New York (1948). Photograph by Irving Penn (American, 1917-2009). Platinum-palladium print. Art Institute of Chicago. The acute corner made of stage flats holds Italian artist and stage designer Corrado Cagli, the composer Vittorio Rieti, the choreographer George Balanchine and the dancer Tanaquil LeClerq. LeClerq presides over the men like a Victory of Samothrace who has grown arms and acquired Medusa’s wild coiffure and oracular stare. -- source link
