EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time when two musical geniuses, Igor Stravinsky and Claude Debussy, crossed paths during the era of the Diaghilev Ballets. Taken in Paris between 1912-13 by Erik Satie, this gelatin silver print with applied handwork offers a glimpse into the world of these influential composers. In the image, Debussy stands tall next to Stravinsky who is seated. Behind them hang several paintings or prints, one of which bears resemblance to Hokusai's famous artwork "The Wave" known for its use on the front cover of Debussy's symphonic sketches "La mer". The composition exudes an air of creativity and artistic inspiration. Stravinsky, a Russian composer renowned for his groundbreaking compositions like "The Rite of Spring" shares the frame with Debussy, a French composer celebrated as one of the pioneers of impressionist music. Their presence together signifies not only their individual brilliance but also highlights their mutual connection through their involvement with Diaghilev Ballets. This intimate portrait provides us with a rare glimpse into the personal lives and creative milieu of these musical icons. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and influence on modernist music. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded that great art transcends time and continues to inspire generations to come.
