EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Nijinsky's iconic role as the Blue God in 1911. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this watercolor on paper masterpiece is now housed in the Bibliotheque de L Arsenal in Paris, France. The costume itself is a stunning fusion of Russian and Indian influences, reflecting both Nijinsky's heritage and the orientalist themes prevalent during that era. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport us to a world of fantasy and enchantment. Originally based on a Hindu legend, this ballet was adapted into a love story by Jean Cocteau. On May 13th, 1912, it took center stage at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, mesmerizing audiences with its innovative choreography and striking visuals. Nijinsky's portrayal of the Blue God was nothing short of extraordinary. With his unparalleled talent as a dancer combined with Bakst's visionary costume design, he embodied grace and power like no other. This image captures his transformation into an ethereal being who captivated hearts through his movements alone. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print today, we are reminded of the timeless beauty created by these artistic pioneers. Their collaboration transcended boundaries and continues to inspire generations of performers and designers alike.
