EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design of "Setting for Scheherazade" by Leon Bakst, a renowned artist of the early 20th century. The ballet is inspired by the legendary Arabic queen and master storyteller, Scheherazade, from One Thousand and One Nights. In this image, we are transported to a mesmerizing interior filled with vibrant colors and intricate details. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and enchantment as we witness dancers gracefully moving against a backdrop adorned with lavish drapery in shades of red and green. The art deco influences can be seen in the ornate patterns that adorn every corner of the setting. It is truly an immersive experience that transports us to another time and place. Bakst's watercolour and gouache technique brings life to this stunning piece, capturing both the opulence and cultural richness associated with Arabian nights. The attention to detail is remarkable, making it evident why Bakst was considered one of the most influential artists in his field. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the power of storytelling through dance – how it can transport us into fantastical worlds while celebrating different cultures. This artwork serves as a testament to Bakst's mastery in creating visually striking sets that enhance performances on stage. It stands as a timeless representation of artistic brilliance that continues to captivate audiences even today.
