This is the origin of modern art and fashion. A collection of fascinating art and design from the Ballets Russes. In the early 20th century, Ballets Russes, a Russian itinerant ballet company based in Paris and founded by a Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, created a worldwide sensation. They brought innovation to the performing arts industry not just with music and choreography but also with scenography and costumes designed by Picasso, Matisse and Chanel. They pioneered an integrated approach to the performing arts in pursuit of the "ideal work of art" and made a huge impact on modern art. Accompanied by rich commentary and focusing mainly on Ballets Russes, this book introduces various beautiful designs from the performing arts from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.
Hiroshi Unno, born in Tokyo 1939, is a critic writer who has contributed to many books on Fin de siecle arts. He wrote his first book on art nouveau in the 1960' s focusing on the subject when nobody was paying attention to the genre at that time. After working as a publisher he became a freelance writer and a critic contributing to wide range of fields from reassessment of Art Deco, City Theory to Music, Cinema and Fashion.
