Description

Дягилев Сергей Павлович (1872-1929), театральный и художественный деятель, издатель, критик.С 1906 Дягилев сконцентрировал всю свою энергию и незаурядные организаторские способности на пропаганде русского искусства в Западной ЕвропеВ 1908 на сцене Гранд-Опера в Париже поставил оперу М. П. Мусоргского Борис Годунов с участием Ф. И. Шаляпина, в 1909 организовал первый из ставших регулярными Русских сезонов, в программе которых значительную место занял балет (в 1913-29 - Русские балеты Сергея Дягилева). Русские балеты Дягилева стали неотъемлемой частью культурной жизни Европы 1900-20-х гг., оказали значительную влияние на все сферы искусства. В 1990 в Ленинграде открыт Центр международного искусства имени Дягилева. Featuring an eight-page gallery of full-color illustrations, here is a major new biography of Serge Diaghilev, founder and impresario of the Ballets Russes, who revolutionized ballet by bringing together composers such as Stravinsky and Prokofiev, dancers and choreographers such as Nijinsky and Karsavina, Fokine and Balanchine, and artists such as Picasso, Matisse, Bakst, and Goncharova. An accomplished, flamboyant impresario of all the arts, Diaghilev became a legendary figure. Growing up in a minor noble family in remote Perm, he would become a central figure in the artistic worlds of Paris, London, Berlin, and Madrid during the golden age of modern art. He lived through bankruptcy, war, revolution, and exile. Furthermore he lived openly as a homosexual and his liaisons, most famously with Nijinsky, and his turbulent friendships with Stravinsky, Coco Chanel, Prokofiev, and Jean Cocteau gave his life an exceptionally dramatic quality. Scheijens magnificent biography, based on extensive research in little known archives, especially in Russia, brings fully to life a complex and powerful personality with boundless creative energy.
