EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Portrait of the dancer Leonide Massine (1895-1979), 1914" showcases the incredible talent and grace of one of ballet's most renowned figures. Created in 1914 by artist Léon Bakst, this art nouveau masterpiece captures the essence of Massine's artistry during his time with the Ballets Russes. Leonide Massine, a Russian ballet dancer and choreographer, is depicted here in a striking pose that exudes both strength and elegance. The intricate details of his costume highlight the opulence and grandeur often associated with Russian ballet at that time. This portrait serves as a testament to Massine's contribution to the world of dance. The lithography technique used in this print adds depth and texture to every line, showcasing Bakst's exceptional skill as an artist. With meticulous attention to detail, he brings out every contour on Massine's face while capturing his intense gaze. Housed within a private collection, this rare piece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the world of early 20th-century Russian ballet. It serves as a reminder not only of Leonide Massine's extraordinary talent but also pays homage to Sergei Diaghilev – founder of Ballets Russes – who played an instrumental role in shaping modern dance. This print is more than just an artwork; it represents history frozen in time—a tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to perfecting their craft on stage for audiences worldwide.
