Exhibition “Christian Bérard, Excentrique Bébé NMNM -Villa Paloma August 7,2022- October 14, 2022 Nouveau Musée National de Monaco
A groundbreaking monograph on one of the most versatile artists of the twentieth century. Christian Bérard worked freely in many artistic circles and fields as a painter, designer of theater and film sets and costumes, fashion designer, interior designer, masterful draftsman, and colorist. His iconic drawings epitomized the Paris fashion world and graced the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Women's Wear Daily in the 1920s and 1930s. Tracing his eccentric and colorful life of encounters and artistic partnerships with the greatest creatives of his time--Jean-Michel Frank, Christian Dior, Gabrielle Chanel, Jean Cocteau, Boris Kochno--this book includes more than two hundred of his paintings, drawings, photographs, intimate correspondences, and interior decorations, along with portraits of Bérard by Cartier-Bresson, Horst, and Schall.

Music: Vittorio Rieti Choreographer: George Balanchine Producer: Les Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev Premiere: 7 May 1929, Théâtre de Monte Carlo, Monaco Costume design: Giorgio de Chirico Costumier: A. Youkine Scenery design: Giorgio de Chirico Libretto: Boris Kochno, after a novel by Count Vladimir Sollogub Main characters: The Lady, the Young Man, the Astrologer, the Sylphides, the Italian guests, the Spanish guests, the Statue
A young man, dressed as a military officer, attends a masked ball where he meets a beautiful masked lady accompanied by an old astrologer, and falls in love with her, even as she flirts with his rival, a young Italian man. While overseen by the ballroom’s giant classical statue, which is possessed of magical powers, the sylphides mischievously dress to imitate the couple in order to confuse their suitors. The young man finally persuades the lady to remove her mask and is dismayed to see her as an old woman. He tries to leave but she pursues him, and as the ball ends the old woman leaves on the arm of the astrologer. As she passes the young officer she and the astrologer both remove further masks, revealing them as a beautiful young couple. Attempting to follow them, the dazed young officer is held back by the statue to contemplate his behavior.
