Dancing stars in more than 30 pochoir plates and attractively bound --- Fine volume celebrating some of the greatest stars of the Ballets Russes in beautiful art-deco interpretations, including both of Barbier's classic albums, and Yorke's rarer and striking colour plates, put together in a full-leather, signed binding. Barbier first made his name in 1912 when he became one of the principal illustrators for two new journals, the Journal des Dames et des Modes and the Gazette du Bon Ton. In addition to illustrating the new styles of the great fashion houses Barbier regularly contributed his own designs, developing a distinctive style which showed the influence of both Aubrey Beardsley and Léon Bakst. The 'Dessins sur les dances de Vaslav Nijinsky' was his first solo publication, inspired by the passion and poetry of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, and he followed this the following year with his 'Album dédié ŕ Tamar Karsavina' - both present here: the first in its first edition, limited to 512 copies (this one num. 428); the second in its first English edition, limited to 400 copies (this one num. 24). Nijinsky is depicted in some of his most famous roles, including as the slave in 'Sheherazade', as Harlequin in 'Carnaval', as the spectre in 'Spectre de la Rose', and in the title role of 'Petrushka'. With relatively sparse use of colour, Barbier nonetheless captures the lavish costumes and sets and his designs are evocative of the expression and movement of the dance. Karsavina, one of the greatest ballerinas, is shown in a number of the same productions (Carnaval, Sheherazade, Spectre de la Rose) but also in her most famous role as the Firebird. Each role of Karsavina depicted by Barbier is also the subject of a poem by Vaudoyer. Barbier's famous albums are here completed with bright, colourful and unusually striking pochoirs by Arabella Yorke, an American artist who moved to London in 1917 after having lived in Paris. Originally from Philadelphia, Yorke was, at the time of this publication, involved in a passionate love affair with the poet Richard Aldington, which was to last about 10 years. Her style here bends art-deco structures with fauvist colours and gold and silver highlights, applied in such a way to achieve the most striking visual result. The strong use of plain colours and the almost painterly way with which they are applied makes this publication stand out in Yorke's corpus. Sung by Yorke and the Ballets russes enthusiast Cyril Beaumont, Lopokova was then at the height of her career. Known to Diaghilev, she had however developed a career on her own in the USA, before living most of her life in Britain, famously becoming the wife of John Maynard Keynes, the celebrated economist. She met Keynes during 'The Sleeping Beauty', a lavish ballet in London, just a year after this publication celebrating her talent. Lopokova became also friend with Picasso, who drew her many times: a portrait by him dated 1919 is included in Beaumont's book.

First edition, one of 934 standard copies from an edition of 1,000 on japon, inscribed by the illustrator on the recto of the limitation leaf, "A Madame Suzanne Süe, son admirateur et son ami respectueux, Paul Iribe, aoűt 1910". "Nijinsky fascinated Cocteau most on account of his potent mixture of animality and fragility, at once desirable and androgynous, half-angel and half-leopard. He presented for Cocteau a unique, hybrid spectacle of desire, pain and sacrifice. In [this] little-known volume. Cocteau signed a veritable love letter to Nijinsky" (Williams, p. 46). The book arranges Cocteau's pair of Nijinsky-inspired poetic triplets into single lines to form captions for Iribe's Beardsley-esque illustrations. Paul Iribe (1883-1935) worked in Hollywood during the 1920s and was Coco Chanel's lover from 1931 to his death. He came to prominence when couturier Paul Poiret used his fluid decorative line to create a modern style of fashion plate, subsequently collected in the volume Les Robes de Paul Poiret racontée par Paul Iribe. These images of uncorseted young women enjoying the luxurious pastimes of the affluent were contentious. Cocteau said in Portraits-Souvenirs that "Iribe's album disgusts mothers". The recipient was the wife of Louis Süe, the painter, architect and interior designer. Süe visited Vienna with Poiret in 1910 and was inspired by the Wiener Werkstätte to create a similar design collective, being a co-founder of L'Atelier Français in 1912, later establishing the Compagnie des Arts Français with André Mare. Quarto ( 300 x 310 mm). Six plates from line drawings by Iribe. Publisher's silk-tied light card wrappers printed in red and black. Some wear and soiling to the wrappers, with scratches to the back wrapper and a light corner crease (not affecting the illustrations.).
