From Library Journal
Born Lev Rosenberg in Belarus in 1866 to modest means, Leon Bakst was already an accomplished artist when he joined the creative circle around Sergei Diaghilev, impresario of the Ballets Russes. Bakst's bold, colorful set designs and exotic costumes became integral to Fokine's innovative choreography and forever changed ballet. Oriental exotica like Scheherezade, Cleopatre, and Thamar and daring ballets like L'Apres-midi d'un Faune are indelibly associated with Bakst, as are The Firebird, Le Spectre de la Rose, and The Sleeping Beauty. Nijinsky, Karsavina, Ida Rubinstein, and Pavlova wore costumes by Bakst in some of their most famous performances. Some of the ballets are still performed today using his costume and set designs. Mostly in color, the 170 illustrations found here vibrantly display Bakst's artistry. The text by freelance writer Ingles is briefer than Charles Spencer's Leon Bakst and the Ballets Russes (Academy Ed., 1995. o.p.), but Ingles's book is a gorgeous, visual tribute to an artist every lover of ballet and theater must know. Highly recommended for public and academic libraries.DTherese Duzinkiewicz Baker, Western Kentucky Univ. Libs., Bowling Green
