L'Oiseau de feu. |
Karsavina was something of a legend even during her own lifetime, celebrated for her technique, her intelligence, charm, and wit. In 1914, on the brink of WWI, this album was dedicated to her, in celebration of her career, and highlighting her most important roles. All of those featured in the album were from ballets created and performed under the aegis of Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes:
Le Pavillon d'Armide, Les Sylphides, Cléopâtre, Carnaval, Shéhérazade, L'Oiseau de feu, Le Spectre de la rose, Narcisse, Petrushka, Daphnis et Chloé, Thamar, Jeux, La Tragédie de Salomé.
oud make for beautiful postcards and illustrations for shopping bags.
ReplyDeleteBarbier, so influential. His art was like a bridge between the art nouveau and the art deco.
