Dancers: Thea v. Ujj

Max Pollak

While in Vienna Max Pollak became involved in the avant-garde dance scene. He did a series of intaglio portraits of dancers, usually costumed and posed, from one of their noted performances. He is sometimes credited with being "the first etcher to turn his attention to the dance as a subject."

There is very little information to be found on the dancer Thea von Ujj, only that she was portrayed several times in the works of various artists in the 1920s.
