EDITORS COMMENTS
Sketch by Fish: Witnessing the Definite Dismissal of the Betrothed in Pulcinella at Diaghileff's Ballet Season at His Majesty's Theatre, London, 1926 This evocative sketch by Fish captures the dramatic moment of the betrothed's dismissal during a performance of Pulcinella, part of Sergei Diaghilev's groundbreaking 1926 ballet season at His Majesty's Theatre in London. The incident unfolds on the ornate and glamorous stage of the Art Deco theatre, which was a hub of entertainment during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. Diaghilev, a pioneering impresario, brought Russian ballet to the West and introduced audiences to innovative and avant-garde productions. In Pulcinella, the traditional commedia dell'arte character was reimagined as a neoclassical figure, blending the old with the new. The ballet's unconventional style and unexpected twists were sure to have left audiences in awe. The sketch by Fish masterfully captures the intensity of the scene, with the betrothed's distraught expression and the determined gaze of the dismissing figure. The use of bold lines and dramatic shadows adds to the sense of tension and emotion. The sketch also serves as a snapshot of the era, with its Art Deco influences and the elegant attire of the audience members in the background. This sketch is a testament to the power of live performance to captivate and move audiences, and to the enduring allure of the ballet as an art form. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Diaghilev's groundbreaking productions and the glamour and excitement of the 1920s.
