The Ballerina Gallery To the uninitiated, the world of ballet is a highbrow yawn-inspiring, tutu-laden spectacle of monumental insipidness. But Philistines of the world, unite with us in a newfound appreciation of this art form and the lithe women who practice it. From the legendary Anna Pavlova to dancers known only to balletomanes, these women display remarkable flexibility, athleticism, and grace. Then consider who could possibly fill Margot Fonteyn's well-worn size 4 shoes. In this enormous collection of photos, Jorgen Wilhelmsson has created a glorious homage to the ballerinas of yesterday and today. But as impressive as the collection is, it pales when compared to the talent and beauty of the women it celebrates. (in Performing Arts)
