Dessins sur la Danses de Vaslav Nijinsky

by George Barbier (Illustrator), Francis De Miomandre

Overview

Like many artists of his generation, George Barbier was fascinated by the work of the dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, and in this book Barbier pays homage to the great dancer in the form of twelve fantastical colour designs which convey the impression Nijinsky produced in his dancing. Among the works illustrated are Sheherazade, Narcisse, Petrushka, L’Après-midi d’un faune, Carnaval, Spectre de la rose, Cléopatre, and Le Pavillon d’Armide.

The plates are preceded by a short text in French by Francis de Miomandre.

First printed in 1913, the book has never before been reprinted.
