EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the ballet Sleeping Beauty by P. Tchaikovsky, created in 1921. The Mazurka dancer depicted here is adorned in an exquisite ensemble that epitomizes the grandeur and elegance of Russian ballet during this era. The renowned artist Leon Bakst, known for his exceptional contributions to the Ballets Russes under the visionary impresario Serge Diaghilev, meticulously crafted this masterpiece. Using gold and silver colors on paper with gouache, pencil, and watercolor techniques, Bakst brought to life a mesmerizing vision of beauty and grace. The intricate details of the costume capture every nuance of movement as it gracefully drapes around the dancer's body. The flowing fabrics create a sense of fluidity while accentuating each delicate step taken on stage. Bakst's scenic painting skills are evident in this artwork as well. The backdrop hints at an enchanting fairytale setting where Princess Aurora slumbers peacefully until awakened by true love's kiss. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from a private collection, we can't help but be transported back to a time when Russian ballet reigned supreme on stages worldwide. It serves as a testament to the immense talent and creativity that flourished during this golden age of theatrical artistry.
