EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for Jean Racine's tragic play, Phedre. Created in 1923 by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this piece combines pencil, watercolor, and gouache on paper to bring Racine's timeless tale to life. The intricate details of the set design transport us to a world of Greek mythology and tragedy. The stage is adorned with majestic columns that tower above the performers, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and power. The temple-like structure in the background adds an air of mystique and reverence. Bakst's artistic prowess shines through as he captures every nuance of emotion within his creation. From the sorrowful expressions on the faces of the characters to their graceful movements, it is evident that this set design was crafted with utmost care and attention to detail. Phedre is a ballets russes diaghilev production that has left an indelible mark on history. This print allows us to marvel at not only Bakst's talent but also at how art can transcend time and space. It serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and invites us into a world where passion collides with fate. Displayed at Musee National d'Art Moderne in Centre Pompidou, Paris, France, this artwork continues to inspire generations with its beauty and significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both Racine's enduring legacy as a playwright and Bakst's contribution as an exceptional artist
