EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design from the renowned ballet, Le Dieu Bleu, performed in 1912 at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this colour lithograph captures the essence of an enchanting Hindu legend adapted into a mesmerizing love story by Jean Cocteau. The image depicts a female dancer adorned in an exquisite Moorish-inspired outfit, evoking an air of orientalism and exoticism. The vibrant blue hues dominate the ensemble, symbolizing the ethereal presence of the Blue God himself. Every intricate detail is meticulously crafted to transport viewers into a world filled with grace and beauty. As part of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, this production pushed boundaries and revolutionized ballet as we know it today. Bakst's costume design perfectly encapsulates this avant-garde movement that sought to break free from traditional norms and embrace new artistic expressions. Preserved within a private collection, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating cultural diversity and artistic innovation. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and borders to inspire generations throughout centuries.
