EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, dated 1927, showcases the principal dancers of Serge Diaghilev's groundbreaking Russian Ballet in a moment of artistic brilliance. The image features Lydia Sokolova, Serge Lifar, Leon Woizikowsky, Stanislas Idzikovsky, and Olga Spressiva, who were at the forefront of the company's innovative and boundary-pushing performances. Diaghilev's Russian Ballet, also known as the Ballets Russes, revolutionized the world of dance during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The company, which was based in Paris, brought together a diverse group of artists, choreographers, and musicians from Russia and beyond, and challenged traditional ballet conventions with its avant-garde productions. In this sketch, the dancers are captured mid-pose, each one embodying the grace, power, and artistry that defined Diaghilev's vision for the future of ballet. Sokolova, known for her expressive and versatile performances, is depicted in a fluid, elegant pose. Lifar, a virtuoso dancer and future choreographer, is shown with a fierce intensity. Woizikowsky, Idzikovsky, and Spressiva, each bring their unique talents to the stage, showcasing the depth and diversity of the company. This historic image, published in a magazine in June 1927, offers a glimpse into the world of Diaghilev's Russian Ballet during its most influential period. The dancers' timeless beauty and the innovative spirit of the company continue to inspire and captivate audiences today.
