During his lifetime the late Baron Thyssen-Bornemisza acquired a collection of over fifty drawings - largely of set and costume designs - reflecting the theatre of the first half of the twentieth century, and particularly the ballet, during what was surely its most exciting and innovative period. Twenty-two of these drawings are by Leon Bakst, perhaps the most famous of all theatrical designers, whose revolutionary designs for Diaghilev's Ballet Russes played such a major part in the impact that company made during the years 1909-1929.

In addition to works by Bakst, the collection includes drawings by George Barbier, Alexandre Benois, Erte, Alexandra Exter, Nathalie Gontcharova, Michel Larionov, Jose de Zamora and others.

Sergei Diaghilev, visionary creator of the Ballets Russes, chose artists to design and unify costumes and scenery for his "Russian Seasons" in Paris, and the spectacular results are spotlighted here. British dance critic Crisp praises Diaghilev's revolutionary fusion of great designers and composers; Russian authors Pozharskaya and Volodina describe the formation of the company, groundbreaking performances and Slavic influence on Western stage design. Superb illustrations, captioned with quotes from artists, composers and others, include photos of Leon Bakst's opulent costumes and scenery designs, Alexandre Benois's whimsical costumery for Petrushka , futurist Natalia Goncharova's fanciful set and her garment sketches for The Golden Cockerel . Picasso, de Chirico, Gris and Matisse are among the artists represented in this marvelous compilation that will be appreciated by fine art and theater enthusiasts alike.
