EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fantaisie sur le costume moderne" transports us back to the early 20th century, where two female haute couture figures come to life through the artistic brilliance of Leon Bakst. The graphite, brush, watercolor, and bodycolor techniques used in this piece bring out the intricate details of their garments with stunning precision. Bakst, a Russian artist hailing from Grodno but based in Paris during this period, was renowned for his stage designs for Ballets Russes under the direction of Diaghilev. His collaboration with influential dancer Ida Rubinstein resulted in some of the most iconic fashion designs of that era. In this particular artwork, Bakst showcases his mastery by capturing not only the beauty and elegance of these women's attire but also their essence as they are dressed in haute couture creations. The flowing lines and vibrant colors evoke a sense of movement and grace that perfectly complemented ballet performances. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we can't help but appreciate how Bakst's innovative approach to fashion design revolutionized the industry during those early decades. This artwork serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and reminds us why he remains an icon in both art and fashion history.
