EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for a Ballets Russes production of Ravels Daphnis et Chloe in 1912. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this artwork was published in L Art Decoratif de Leon Bakst in Paris, 1913 and is now part of a private collection. The costume design exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, perfectly capturing the essence of the ballet. The intricate details and elaborate patterns on the dress showcase Bakst's mastery in dressmaking and fabric selection. The combination of blue and brown colors adds depth to the overall composition, creating a visually striking contrast. A female ballet dancer stands with her arms outstretched, portraying gracefulness and poise. Her hair is beautifully styled into plaits, adding to her classical appearance. This solo ballerina embodies both strength and delicacy as she brings Maurice Ravel's music to life through dance. The print captures every aspect of this remarkable artwork with precision. From the vertical positioning to the fine pencil lines used by Bakst, it truly showcases his exceptional talent as an illustrator. This piece not only represents a significant moment in art history but also pays homage to Russian culture through its connection with Ballets Russes. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to inspire generations even after more than a century has passed since its creation.
