Tsvetaeva's drawings

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear colleagues,

I've just read a curious article penned by Yulii Zyslin. It  says that  
Yulii Zyslin has a copy of Tsvetaeva's drawings in his museum in  
Washington DC: http://www.kontinent.org/article_rus_4501ebae285f6.html

According to this article, Tsvetaeva drew various portraits in the 1910s....
I'm just wondering whether anyone could recall any references to the  
fact that Tsvetaeva was an artist as well as poet? It's well known, of  
course, that her daughter and her son were excellent artists but I've  
never heard about Tsvetaeva's drawings before.
It's curios, especially because there are so many notebooks and  
letters that are deposited in various archives but I don't remember  
any materials that feature Tsvetaeva's drawings alongside her poems or  
letters, for example.

I'll be very grateful for any information that could shed some light  
on this discovery!...


All best,
Alexandra
