Leon Bakst and the Art of Ballet Russes by Léon Bakst,San Francisco Performing Arts Library and Museum Pdf
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.
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.
Best known among Jews for his illustrated Haggadah, Arthur Szyk was also a political artist whose work went beyond a narrow definition of the Jewish cause. In the early twentieth century he worked tirelessly to strengthen the Jews’ position in Poland; later, in the United States, he put his art at the service of the war effort, and then on behalf of the Zionist cause. A singular contribution to the history of Polish-Jewish relations and of Jewish art.
