The much-married Ganna Walska (Hanna Puacz, 1887-1984), a mediocre singer (said to be a model for Susan Alexander Kane in CITIZEN KANE) and a visionary garden designer. Photograph by Herman Mishkin (1871-1948)
This photo suggests the specificity of artist portraiture in the 1910s and 1920s - the setting for this portrait pays tribute to Walska’s good taste and successful marital career.
