Nijinsky as Arlequin

[melmothblog]

I was in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in July, and came across a beautiful costume study for Nijinsky as Iksender in la Peri by Leon Bakst. I can't send you a link or a photo, but the Met web site has it online, along with other costume studies (search Leon Bakst).

Thank you for letting me know. It’s a beautiful illustration and I’ve always found the entire Nijinsky clan fascinating, so this is right up my alley.

Costume Study for Vaslav Nijinsky in the Role of Iksender in the Ballet “La Péri” (The Flower of Immortality), first performed in Paris, 1912

Léon Bakst was already an experienced portraitist, illustrator, and set designer in 1909 when he joined with Serge Diaghilev to found the Ballets Russes. This design for a costume to be worn by the renowned male dancer Vaslav Nijinsky (1890–1950) demonstrates Bakst’s involvement with Symbolism and Art Nouveau, as well as his dramatic use of color and sensuous line.
