EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a costume design for the play "The Flea" by Yevgeny Zamyatin, created in 1924 by Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev. The vibrant gouache on paper artwork is housed at the State Central Literary Museum in Moscow, Russia. Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin, a renowned Russian author of science fiction and political satire, penned this intriguing play. The image captures the essence of his satirical genius as it depicts a humorous and theatrical caricature of characters from "The Flea". The artist's skillful annotations add an extra layer of depth to the design, providing insightful notes about each character's personality and role within the story. This attention to detail enhances our understanding of the set and amplifies its satirical impact. Kustodiev's use of puce color adds an element of whimsy to this already comical scene. The exaggerated features and exaggerated costumes further emphasize the playful nature of this production. "The Flea" costume design serves as a testament to both Zamyatin's literary prowess and Kustodiev's artistic talent. It invites us into a world where politics intertwine with humor, creating an unforgettable experience for theater-goers. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the mastery behind this particular work but also provides insight into early 20th-century Russian theatre culture.
