EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a world of enchantment with this costume design for the ballet La Boutique Fantasque, created in 1918 by Leon Bakst. This exquisite print showcases the artist's incredible talent and attention to detail, transporting us back to the golden age of Russian ballet. La Boutique Fantasque, also known as The Fantastic Toyshop or The Magic Toyshop, was a collaboration between Bakst and renowned impresario Sergei Diaghilev. Their vision brought to life a whimsical tale set in a magical toy store, where dolls and toys come alive after closing time. In this particular design, we see Bakst's mastery in capturing the essence of each character through his use of vibrant gouache on paper. From elegant ballerinas adorned with intricate tutus to mischievous clowns donning colorful costumes, every detail is meticulously crafted. The Ballets Russes revolutionized theatrical scenic painting during its time, and this piece exemplifies their innovative approach. It not only showcases Russian art at its finest but also highlights Bakst's ability to seamlessly blend fantasy with reality. This rare find from a private collection allows us an intimate glimpse into the creative process behind one of history's most iconic ballet productions. As we admire this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the enduring beauty and timeless allure that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
