EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design is a masterpiece by the renowned Russian artist Alexandra Exter (1882-1949) for the play "Famira-kifared" by Ilya Annensky, produced in 1916. Exter's innovative design reflects the influence of Cubo-Futurism, a revolutionary art movement that sought to integrate the principles of Cubism and Futurism. The design showcases the intricate details of the costumes for the ballet production. The use of gouache on paper in this graphic arts piece adds depth and texture to the image. The bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors reflect the avant-garde spirit of the time. The play "Famira-kifared" was a groundbreaking work in the Russian opera and theater scene. Annensky's libretto was based on the ancient Greek myth of Thamira Khydaredes, a priestess who was seduced by the god Dionysus and transformed into a tree. Exter's design for the production was a visual representation of the play's themes of transformation and the intersection of the natural and supernatural worlds. The costumes, with their abstract shapes and dynamic lines, evoke a sense of movement and fluidity, reflecting the essence of the play's narrative. This costume design is a testament to Exter's artistic vision and her contribution to the development of modern theatrical scenic painting. It is a valuable addition to the collection of the State Museum of Theater, Music and Cinema of Ukraine and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Russia's theatrical past.
