Unfortunately he died of illness without seeing the production, which he directed from his hospital bed. Costumes and decor were by Ignaty Nivinsky who was also responsable for the book, providing a cubistic design for the cover, printed in pastel shades of yellow, blue, pink and green. The publication, which includes colour plates as well as photographs, gives an idea of the look of the production" (Susan Compton, Russian Avant-Garde Books). - Das Gedenkbuch für den im Jahr der Aufführung verstorbenen Theater-Leiter Jewgeni Bagrationowitsch Wachtangow (1883-1922) enthält Texte zur Inszenierung, der Geschichte des Theaters und zu den künstlerischen Auffassungen Wachtangows sowie Text und die Partitur des Märchenspiels. - Die Farblithographien zeigen Niwinskis expressive Bühnenbilder und Figurinen, die Schauspielerporträts teils mit transparenten Vorblättern mit von ihm entworfenen konstruktivistischen Vignetten. Von Ignaz Niwinsky, der 1921 bis 1930 Lehrer an den berühmten WChUTEMAS-Werkstätten war, stammt die gesamte Buchgestaltung inklusive der konstruktivistische Umschlaglithographie. - Der bedeutende russische Maler, Zeichner, Grafiker, Architekt und Bühnenbildner Ignatius Ignatjewitsch Nivinsky (1880-1933) arbeitete seit 1910 besonders als Monumental- und Dekorationsmaler in Moskau und entwarf auch das Mausoleum Lenins. Als Architekt arbeitete Nivinsky mit dem Jugendstil-Architekten Valentin Dubovski zusammen und entwickelte einen neuen Bautypus. Seit 1912 lebte und arbeitete er in seinem von ihm selbst entworfenen Atelier, das sich zum Treffpunkt der kulturellen Elite Moskaus entwickelte und wo Nivinsky Ausstellungen, Lesungen und Musikabende veranstaltete. In den 20er Jahren war Nivinsky Leiter der Dekorationswerkstätten des Mali-Theaters. - Umschlag mit geringen Randläsuren und etwas gebräunt, Rücken am Kapital und Fuss unauffällig restauriert, Tafelränder teils etwas braunfleckig, papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, sehr gutes Exemplar und sehr selten! First edition. - Detailed documentation on the legendary Turandot performance at the Vakhtangov Theater in Moscow. - The memorial book for the theater director Yevgeny Bagrationovich Vakhtangov (1883-1922), who died in the year of the performance, contains texts on the production, the history of the theater and Vakhtangov's artistic views as well as the text and the score of the fairy tale play. - The color lithographs show Niwinsky's expressive stage sets and figurines, the actor's portraits partly with transparent cover sheets with vignettes designed by him. The entire book design, including the cubist cover lithography, comes from Niwinsky, who later became a teacher at the famous Vchutemas school. - Cover with minor marginal defects and slightly browned, spine at the capital and foot inconspicuously restored, edges of the plates partially browned, slightly browned due to the paper, very good copy and very rare!
