EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the exquisite costume design for Ida Rubinstein as Ishtar, a prominent Russian ballet dancer of the 20th century. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst in 1924, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Ishtar, a Babylonian goddess known for her power and allure. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this costume reflect the art deco style that was prevalent during the 1920s. Bakst's mastery is evident in every brushstroke, as he brings to life a character that exudes strength and femininity simultaneously. Ida Rubinstein herself stands tall and proud in this print, embodying both grace and confidence. As one of Russia's most celebrated ballerinas, she captivated audiences with her remarkable talent and striking stage presence. Bakst's costumes played an integral role in enhancing Rubinstein's performances, elevating them to new heights. This lithograph serves as a testament to both artistic collaboration and religious symbolism within dance. It transports us back to a time when fine art merged seamlessly with performing arts, creating unforgettable moments on stage. From its origins in Russia to its global impact on ballet culture, this image encapsulates not only the beauty of dance but also pays homage to ancient traditions. It is truly an extraordinary piece from a private collection that allows us to appreciate the intersection between artistry and spirituality throughout history.
