Paul Scheurich (1883-1945) - Simplicissimus, 1931 (Jg. 36 ) Heft 22 Seite 253 - Altruismus : „Gegenüber einem Boxkampf ist das Theater ja natürlich die reinste Nervenerholung. Aber schließlich kann man nicht immer bloß seiner Gesundheit leben." (Trad. Google : Altruism: "Compared to a boxing match, theater is, of course, pure relaxation. But after all, you can't always live solely for your health.")

A figurative reminiscence of Russian ballet art - the sculpture of the Bajazzo, a hand-painted exclusive figure, a work of art by the artist Paul Scheurich from 1913. At that time, the guest performance "Le Carneval" based on Robert Schuhmann's piano cycle enjoyed great popularity in the Berlin theater and demanded artistic immortalization in the spirit of cultural heritage. The black accents of the sculpture stand in clear contrast to the leotard, which is hand-painted with colorful and white checks. What is striking about this work of art is the figure's longing pose, which is particularly recognizable in the head tilted to one side. The five Russian dancers that Scheurich portrayed for the artwork ensemble "Russian Ballet" were his first and most successful works for the Meissen porcelain manufactory.

The Russian Ballet series was introduced at the Meissen Manufactory in early January and February of 1912. Scheurich modeled modeled five figures on characters in the ballet Karneval created by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, choreographed by Mikhail Fokine, with music by Robert Schumann. Staged in Berlin in 1910, 1912, and 1914 as a one-act ballet at the Theatre des Westerns, the performance featured new sets and costumes by Leon Bakst. Carnival quickly became a beloved favorite resulting in its choice for recreation by Scheurich at Meissen.
