About this title

Synopsis

Sergei Diaghilev and his extraordinary Ballets Russes revolutionized ballet for all time. From 1909 to 1929, the Ballets Russes attracted avant-garde composers such as Stravinsky, dancers such as Nijinsky and Massine, and designers such as Bakst, Goncharova, Picasso, Matisse, and Chanel, and even a very young George Balanchine, all of whom helped to create true collaborations never before seen in the performing arts. Now, this major book, published to accompany an exhibition that originated at the V&A and is now traveling to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, examines the origins, development, and long-term influence of the Ballets Russes, complete with costumes, sets, and performance photographs. This beautiful book showcases artistic collaboration at its finest.

“This fascinating book should be on every ballet lovers’ gift list.”
—Suzy Menkes, The New York Times
