EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for an adolescent character in a Ballets Russes production of Tcherepnin's Narcisse, created by the talented artist Leon Bakst in 1911. The image, published in L'Art Decoratif de Leon Bakst in Paris in 1913 and now part of a private collection, transports us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century art. The Ephebe costume is a true testament to Bakst's mastery as it bursts with energy and movement. The black and yellow color scheme adds a striking contrast while conveying a sense of mystery and allure. With its elaborate detailing and intricate patterns, this ensemble captures the essence of Russian culture through its rich fabric choices. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within ballet but also the harmonious relationship between music and dance. Inspired by Debussy's enchanting score for Narcisse, Bakst has beautifully translated these melodies into visual form. In this single frame, we witness an individual dancer who embodies grace and elegance as they bring this character to life on stage. The location remains unknown but serves as a reminder that art transcends boundaries - both geographical and temporal. Through his artwork, Bakst invites us into a world where classical music meets theatrical performance; where costumes become works of art themselves. This print allows us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also celebrates the enduring legacy left behind by Ballets Russes - forever changing how we perceive dance and entertainment.
