Leon Bakst and artworks
Léon Bakst (1866-1924) was a painter, illustrator, stage and costume designer. He is universally acknowledged for representing a synthesis of creative energy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bakst travelled widely throughout Europe and in 1890 joined the World of Art journal circle which numbered many artists among its members, the most famous being Benois and Diaghilev. This book illustrates the wealth of Bakst's contribution to the world of theatre and dance. His best known work includes sets for Stravinsky's Firebird, and Weber's Spectre de la Rose.

L'arte Di Alexandre Benois E Léon Bakst. Teatro Della Ragione/teatro Del Desiderio. Ediz. Inglese
This volume shows the work of two of an important costume and stage designers. After leaving Russia for Paris, Léon Bakst played a leading role in the years just before World War I as a stage and costume designer for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. Aleksandre Benois who, after starting his career in 1900 at the Ermitage court theatre, together with Bakst assisted Diaghilev in the founding of the Ballets Russes. Presenting a selection of costumes, pastels, watercolours, gouaches and sketches for costumes, sets and props for theatre and ballet performances, the volume studies the differences between Bakst’s sensual and decadent orientalism and Benois’ academic classicism, within the context of the different cultural interests and backgrounds of the two artists.
