EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design for the iconic theatre production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, created by the renowned Russian artist Alexandra Alexandrovna Exter in 1921, is a stunning example of the Cubo-Futurist movement in the arts. Housed in the esteemed collection of the State Museum of Theater, Music and Cinema of Ukraine, this gouache on paper masterpiece showcases Exter's innovative approach to theatrical design. Exter, born in 1882, was a pioneering figure in the Russian avant-garde art scene, known for her groundbreaking work in ballet, opera, and theatre. This design for Romeo and Juliet, in particular, reflects the Cubo-Futurist style, which emphasized geometric forms, bold colors, and a rejection of traditional perspectives. The design features the costumes for both Romeo and Juliet, with Juliet's dress taking center stage. The gown is adorned with angular, geometric shapes, giving it a modern and abstract appearance. The use of bold, contrasting colors adds to the overall dynamism of the design. Romeo's costume, on the other hand, is more subdued, with a simple tunic and trousers, reflecting the traditional masculine attire of the time. This design was not just for a ballet or an opera production, but rather for a full-scale theatre production of Romeo and Juliet. The intricacy and detail of the design suggest that it was meant to be brought to life on stage, providing a visual feast for audiences. The design's innovative and avant-garde style would have made for a truly unforgettable production, showcasing Exter's unique vision and artistic prowess.
