EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Pavillon d'Armide" was a groundbreaking ballet production by the legendary Ballets Russes, premiered in London in 1911. This photograph captures the enigmatic and charismatic Vaslav Nijinsky in the title role of the sorcerer Armide. Choreographed by Mikhail Fokine and set to music by Nikolai Tcherepine, the ballet was an instant sensation, showcasing the innovative and avant-garde spirit of the Ballets Russes. Nijinsky, born in Ukraine in 1890, was a male dancer of exceptional talent and magnetism. His masculine presence and unconventional movements challenged the norms of classical ballet, making him a trailblazer in the world of dance. In this photograph, Nijinsky is depicted in an upright, vertical pose, clad in colorful, flowing costumes that accentuate his lithe form and graceful movements. Fokine, born in 1880, was a Russian choreographer and dancer who is considered one of the most influential figures in the history of ballet. His choreography for "Le Pavillon d'Armide" was a departure from traditional ballet, incorporating modern elements and a focus on character development. Tcherepine, born in 1873, was a Russian composer and conductor who provided the music for the production. This photograph is a testament to the cultural significance of the Ballets Russes and the enduring legacy of its key figures. It captures a moment in time when art and innovation collided, leaving an indelible mark on the world of dance and beyond. The photograph, taken between the years 1935 and 1950, is a valuable addition to any collection of dance history or cultural heritage. It is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire and challenge us in ways that continue to resonate today.
