Book Leon Bakst and the Art of Ballet Russes

Download or read book Leon Bakst and the Art of Ballet Russes written by Léon Bakst and published by . This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leon Bakst became associated with the impresario Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1909. From the start, his costumes and set designs provoked amazed delight among the troupe's Parisian audiences, and he would work ever more closely with the company over a number of years. Sumptuous, muscular, and delicately colored, Bakst's watercolor-and-gouache renderings remain profoundly sensuous today; when first published in 1913, in The Decorative Art of Leon Bakst, they must have been galvanizing.

Book excerpt: The success of the Ballets Russes was legendary, but there is more to the legend than its name: the actual story, the adventure, conceived by one man and lived by a few, that lasted only eight seasons and three summers. From 1911 to 1914, Serge Diaghilev, driven by conviction and stubbornness, turned his vision into reality. He collaborated with the likes of Leon Bakst, Igor Stravinsky, and Picasso to create an explosion of creativity in Western Europe which had never before been seen in the world of art. Thanks to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, the most glorious page in the history of ballet, one of the most magnificent moments in the adventure of Art, was written. To turn the pages of this stunning book, which offers rare documents from the legendary Ballets Russes from 1911 to 1914 (Monte Carlo years), is to follow Diaghilev on his creative quest--a journey that continues to influence art, theater, ballet, and fashion to this day.
