EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Vaslav Nijinsky in the ballet La Peri, composed by Paul Dukas in 1911. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this watercolor on paper masterpiece is housed at Bibliotheque de L'Arsenal in Paris, France. The intricate details of Nijinsky's costume transport us to a world of enchantment and fantasy. Inspired by an old Persian legend of King Iskender and the peri, Bakst skillfully captures the essence of this mythical tale through his artistry. The vibrant colors and exotic patterns adorning the costume evoke a sense of otherworldliness. Nijinsky himself was renowned for his extraordinary talent as both a dancer and choreographer. His graceful movements brought characters to life on stage, captivating audiences worldwide. In this particular role as La Peri, Nijinsky embodied ethereal beauty and elegance. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the power that art holds to transport us beyond our everyday lives into realms filled with magic and wonder. It serves as a testament to the creativity and imagination that artists like Bakst possess. This print not only celebrates an iconic moment in ballet history but also pays homage to two great artistic minds - Paul Dukas' evocative composition and Leon Bakst's stunning visual interpretation.
