EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the Ballet La Legende de Joseph by R. Strauss, created by the renowned artist Leon Bakst (1866-1924). The exquisite artwork is part of a private collection, showcasing the immense talent and creativity that went into stage designs during this era. The ballet itself was a masterpiece, combining elements of Russian art and culture with the timeless story of Joseph from biblical times. Bakst's costume design perfectly captures the essence of this enchanting tale, bringing to life characters such as Potiphar's wife in all her allure and mystery. The Ballets Russes, led by impresario Sergei Diaghilev and choreographer Michel Fokine, revolutionized the world of ballet with their innovative productions. This particular collaboration between Bakst and Fokine resulted in an extraordinary visual spectacle that captivated audiences worldwide. Bakst's watercolour and gouache on paper technique adds depth and vibrancy to his creation, highlighting his mastery in scenic painting. The intricate details within each costume reflect his meticulous attention to detail and dedication to his craft. As we admire this remarkable piece of theatrical history captured through photography, we are transported back to a time when Russian ballet reigned supreme on stages across Europe. It serves as a testament to both Bakst's artistic genius and the enduring legacy of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes movement.
