EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for the ballet "Thamar" by Mily Balakirev, created in 1912. The artist behind this magnificent creation is none other than Leon Bakst, whose talent and creativity are evident in every brushstroke. The image transports us to a world of enchantment and grandeur. A towering brick wall, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, serves as the backdrop for this mesmerizing performance. The art deco influences are unmistakable, adding a touch of modernity to the classical setting. As we delve deeper into the picture, we can almost hear the graceful movements of dancers twirling across the stage. This illustration captures not only their physical prowess but also their emotional depth through its expressive lines and bold use of color. Bakst's concept for "Thamar" is truly grandiose - it immerses us in a fantastical realm where music and dance intertwine harmoniously. With his pencil strokes and watercolor mastery, he brings to life an entire country on stage, transporting audiences to another time and place. This artwork from early 20th century Russia exemplifies Bakst's genius as well as his contribution to both visual arts and performing arts. Preserved at Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this print allows us to appreciate Bakst's vision even today – a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of ballet set design.
