Leon Bakst: 106 Designs and Paintings by Maria Tsaneva Pdf
Léon Bakst was a Russian painter and costume designer. After graduating from gymnasium, he studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts as a non-credit student, because he had failed the entry, working part-time as a book illustrator, though, he would eventually be admitted into this institution in 1883. From 1893 to 1897 he lived in Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian while still visiting Saint Petersburg often. After the mid-1890s he became a member of the circle of writers and artists formed by Sergei Diaghilev and Alexandre Benois. As a member of the Sergei Diaghilev circle and the Ballets Russes, he designed exotic, richly coloured sets and costumes and revolutionized both theatrical design and contemporary fashion with his sensual and exotic visions. In 1922, Bakst broke off his relationship with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes. He died on the 27th of December 1924, in Paris.
Léon Bakst (1866-1924) was a painter, illustrator, stage and costume designer. He is universally acknowledged for representing a synthesis of creative energy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bakst travelled widely throughout Europe and in 1890 joined the World of Art journal circle which numbered many artists among its members, the most famous being Benois and Diaghilev. This book illustrates the wealth of Bakst's contribution to the world of theatre and dance. His best known work includes sets for Stravinsky's Firebird, and Weber's Spectre de la Rose.

Excerpt from Special Exhibition of the Work of Léon Bakst: December 17th, 1914 It was our privilege to be prewnt when Rakst ulnainetl his real introduction at the Thefitredn Chfuelet in june, 1909. From the moment when the curtain arose to the music which Arens'ky had written for the artist's ballet Cleopatre, until the amorous queen's galley glided down the river with its precious burden, there was never a false note struck. The settings were built upon extremely simple lines a vast Egyptian hall surrounded by mamive colnntns between which you caught glimpses of the glistening sapphire Nile. The prevailing color was a brilliant orange. And the great stones, which seem to have absorbed the golden sunlight, suggested deserts of glittering powdered sand outside. -t wae what one mightexpeet from the artist who afterward told us that he conceived a stage setting primarily not as a landscape or as architecture, hut as though it were a painting into which the human figures had not yet been painted. From each setting, he con tinned, l discard the entire range of nuances which do not amplify or intensity the hidden spirit of the table. Add to this the fact that the composer, the. Maitre dr build, the stage decorator, the dancers and mimes were all of the same race working in harmony, and you will not be sur prised at the artistic unity of the production. The com posers orchestrated for the ears, Bakst for the eyes. The inimitable interpreters were Pavlowa, dainty and divine.
