Diaghilev And The Golden Age Of The Ballets Russes 1909-1929
Auteur(s) : Jane Pritchard
Exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, 25 September 2010 - 9 January 2011
While the early 20th century was rich with creative energy, no one brought theater and dance to the forefront of culture quite like Sergei Diaghilev did with his extraordinary Ballets Russes. From 1909 to 1929, the impresario attracted the involvement of artists and designers (Picasso, Matisse, Chanel), composers (Stravinsky),dancers (Nijinsky and Massine), and even a young George Balanchine.
This exhibition catalogue examines the origins, development, and long-term influence of the Ballets Russes, the company that showcased artistic collaboration at its finest and revolutionized ballet for all time.
