EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing set design for a ballet, taken from the renowned Maquettes de Theatre by Alexandra Exter and published in the 1920s. The lithograph captures the avant-garde essence of Exter's work, highlighting her innovative approach to constructivist art. Exter, an influential Ukrainian artist, was forced to leave her home country in 1924 due to lack of support for her experimental style under Soviet rule. She sought refuge in France, where she continued to push boundaries and redefine modernism through her artistic endeavors. The illustration featured here is a testament to Exter's genius as it combines elements of abstract and theatrical aesthetics seamlessly. The dancers on stage are transformed into dynamic performers against a backdrop that exudes modernity and sophistication. Every detail within this set design speaks volumes about Exter's vision. From the bold lines and geometric shapes that dominate the composition to the meticulous attention given to every dancer's posture and movement, it is evident that this piece represents a true masterpiece of its time. As we gaze upon this engraving from Maquettes de Theatre, we are transported into an enchanting world where dance meets visual artistry. It serves as a reminder of how artists like Alexandra Exter pushed boundaries and challenged conventions during one of history's most transformative periods for both society and culture.
