EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of flamenco dance, as La Rubia de Jerez, Mate y Maria de Albaicin, and Mate El Sin Pies perform the Cuadro, a suite of Andalusian dances during the groundbreaking production of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Princes Theatre in London, 1921. The dancers' expressive movements and intricate footwork embody the raw emotion and passion that defines the traditional Spanish art form. The scenery and costumes for this performance were designed by the renowned artist Pablo Picasso, who brought a modernist sensibility to the production. The vibrant colors and bold geometric shapes of Picasso's designs contrasted sharply with the traditional flamenco costumes, adding an avant-garde edge to the production. The Cuadro, a suite of interconnected dances, was a key part of the Ballets Russes' repertoire and marked a significant departure from the company's usual modernist ballets. The inclusion of flamenco in the Ballets Russes' program showcased Diaghilev's commitment to promoting cross-cultural exchange and artistic innovation. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of flamenco and the intersection of traditional and modern art forms. The dancers' intense concentration and the intricate interplay of movement and design make this a truly unforgettable image.
