EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1904 depicts the renowned Sergei Diaghilev, a prominent figure in the world of ballet. Created by Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov, this print showcases Diaghilev's youthful charm and undeniable presence. Diaghilev is best known as the founder of Ballets Russes, an influential dance company that revolutionized the art form during the early 20th century. As a patron, art critic, and impresario, he played a pivotal role in shaping modern ballet and introducing it to audiences worldwide. In this portrait, Diaghilev is seated with an air of confidence and poise. The artist captures his essence beautifully through intricate details and skillful shading. Although labeled as unfinished or sketch-like, this engraving exudes a sense of dynamism and energy. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate Diaghilev's striking features – his sharp gaze, well-groomed beard, and stylish attire – all reflecting his refined taste for aesthetics. As we admire this remarkable piece from a private collection now out of copyright restrictions in Russia, we are reminded of Diaghilev's immense contribution to Russian ballet history. His vision brought together talented dancers, choreographers, composers, and artists who collaborated to create groundbreaking performances that continue to inspire generations today. This print serves as a testament to Serge Diaghilev's lasting legacy within the world of dance—an enduring reminder of his passion for innovation and artistic excellence.
