EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design is the brilliant work of Alexander Yakovlevich Golovin for the iconic play "The Masquerade" by Mikhail Lermontov, produced in Moscow in 1917. Golovin's design showcases an exquisite ensemble for a fancy dress ball scene, where the characters don elaborate masks and costumes, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the production. The design is rendered in gouache, ink, and pen on paper, with meticulous attention to detail and a rich palette of colors. At the height of the Russian avant-garde art movement, Golovin's design was a perfect fit for the innovative director Vsevolod Meyerhold, who sought to push the boundaries of traditional theatre. The Masquerade was a significant departure from the naturalistic style that dominated the Russian stage at the time, and Golovin's design contributed to the production's unique and otherworldly atmosphere. The image depicts a grand ballroom filled with elegantly dressed figures, each wearing masks of various shapes and sizes. The women's costumes feature intricate beadwork, voluminous skirts, and ornate headpieces, while the men's attire includes tailcoats, breeches, and masks with elaborate feathers and plumes. The overall effect is one of opulence and enchantment, transporting the audience to a fantastical world of masks and make-believe. This stunning design is a testament to Golovin's exceptional talent as a costume designer and his ability to bring Lermontov's play to life in a visually captivating way. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the State Central A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum in Moscow, where it continues to inspire and delight audiences and scholars alike.
