sada yacco
along with sarah bernhardt, loie fuller, misia, and cleo de merode, sada yacco captured the imagination and the hearts of artists and the public alike during the time of the early century.
known as japan's first female actor, she then parlayed her fame with a world-wide tour. she danced with fuller in fuller's own theater,and brought over her own troupe of japanese players.
(here read the inter- view with ms. sada- yakko by yone nogu- chi. and find many photos of sada (and fuller) at the 1900 world exposition in paris. by the way, the painting of sado in a lavender kimono is by Tavik Frantisek Simon, whose work we saw here.)Labels: dance, picasso, sada yacco, tavik františek šimon, william nicholson

I always enjoy your blog. Images so beautiful they take my breath away.
oh camille, thank you so much. you've really gotten my week off to a good start.
Dear Lily,
You just forgot to mention that Sada's b&w cartoon was by the Portuguese cartoonist Celso Hermínio (1871-1904)... Thank you for a wonderful blog on a very interesting subject! Cheers. A.
oh! thank you so much!
These are terrific!
upper right corner of Picasso's sketch is really an incredible one(i never saw it befor), which reminds me again about Akira Kurosawa's sketches for film "Chaos"(Ran).
hp: i don't think i've seen those, but i google-imaged it and got, i think, the idea.
A--by the way, isn't it interesting how the arms and hands in the herminio piece are like they are in the simon piece?
