拍品專文

Desha Delteil (nee Podgorska, 1900-1980) was the artist's most frequently used model. Arriving in America from Yugoslavia in 1914, Delteil danced with Michel Fokine's dance company. Delteil and Frishmuth were introduced in 1916 through Frances Grimes, a fellow sculptor who had used the dancer as a model. The lively pose exhibited here is typical of Desha's exuberance and talent as a dancer.
