EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a preparatory design for the ballet "Ishtar" by Bohuslav Martinu, created in 1922. The artwork, painted with watercolor and gouache on paper by Leon Bakst, exudes an ornate and decorative style typical of the 1920s. The scene depicts figures dressed in elaborate costumes inspired by Persian culture, kneeling and seated amidst a vibrant patterned backdrop. The artist's modernist approach is evident through his use of bold colors and intricate details that bring life to the composition. Each character is adorned with headdresses and robes reminiscent of Mughal attire, adding an exotic touch to the overall aesthetic. As one gazes at this mesmerizing piece, they are transported into a world where dance meets artistry. The vignettes within the design hint at dynamic movements performed during the ballet performance itself. It is as if we can almost hear the music playing in our minds as these graceful figures come alive on stage. Bohuslav Martinu's genius shines through this preparatory design, showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend Eastern influences with Western artistic techniques. This artwork serves as a testament to his innovative vision and contribution to both visual arts and music. Overall, this print captures not only a moment in time but also encapsulates the beauty of collaboration between different art forms – painting inspiring dance; dance inspiring painting.
