Description
Sergei Diaghilev’s triumph as an impresario has, until now, inclined to overshadow the influence of his troupe on the design of the time - and since. This books corrects the balance by revealing how widespread the work of great designers and artists he used penetrated a wider design culture.
The ensemble brought the stage and everyday life into creative contact with each other and permeated all aspects of design from haute couture, to interior design to furniture and fabrics.
Beautifully illustrated and drawing on unpublished images and memorabilia, this book illuminates the ways in which innovations by the Ballets Russes in dance, music, sets and costume both mirrored and invigorated contemporary design culture and stimulated the creative work of contemporary designers in France and internationally.
