EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning stage design created for the ballet Les Orientales, circa 1910. The intricate artwork, executed in watercolour and gouache on paper, is a testament to the genius of its creator, Léon Bakst. This particular piece belongs to a private collection and represents an exquisite example of theatrical scenic painting. Les Orientales was one of the iconic productions by Ballets Russes, a renowned Russian ballet company founded by Sergei Diaghilev in the early 20th century. The company revolutionized the world of dance with their avant-garde approach and collaborations with visionary artists like Bakst. The image transports us into a mesmerizing world filled with opulence and exoticism. Vibrant colors blend harmoniously to depict an enchanting Eastern-inspired setting that perfectly complements the ballet's theme. It is easy to imagine Vaslav Nijinsky or another legendary dancer gracefully moving across this magnificent stage. Bakst's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both grandeur and delicacy simultaneously. His masterful use of color creates depth and dimension within the scene, immersing viewers into an otherworldly experience. This print serves as a reminder of the immense artistic talent behind these groundbreaking performances that forever changed ballet history. It stands as a testament not only to Bakst's brilliance but also to Diaghilev's vision for pushing boundaries within theater arts.
