Maybe it was art therapy? The 6th & 7th creatures are more whimsical, in fact they remind me of Edward Gorey. <br /><br />Ah, the beauty of Russian men--Nijinsky, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and of course Rudolf Nureyev. (The new Elle Decor has a small article about RN's sumptous Paris apartment.) I will have to read the Yousoupoff autobio...yet another addition you've made to my reading list!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044021227952639108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-85888921461571709702011-05-23T01:40:41.706-04:002011-05-23T01:40:41.706-04:00Y. was a courageous and obviously unique individua...Y. was a courageous and obviously unique individual...his art? Maybe the only way he could purge his personal demons. But there is a strange beauty in the works (except the 1st-which presents only horror). Thanks, as always.
