Aubril

Aubril is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Aubril made small prints of ballet dancers in the late 1800s, when Paris stages were full of swirling skirts and gaslight glamour. In “Ballet Beauties No 2,” five figures lean on a barre or pose mid-pirouette, the print catching the quick flick of a toe and the sheen of satin. If you like the way the image balances light, motion, and a little backstage grit, tap into this print and look for the dancer’s right foot, it’s the one that just barely touches the floor.
