Bakst v Parizhe (Bakst in Paris)
Moscow: Buksmart, 2016. Sewn pb. The sultry and brilliant costumes designed by Bakst were as vivid a part of the Ballets russes as the dancing, choreography, and music. This study of Bakst's work in Paris for Diagilev and the Ballets russes glistens with examples of his work from the 1910s and 1920s. Many of his drawings, set and costume designs together with archival photographs of dancers in costumes designed by Bakst show how his design sketches were realized brilliantly in performance. 255 p,, 26 cm, approx. 300 color and b/w illus., Rus.
