The Ballets russes and its world1999

"Diaghilev's Ballets Russes (1909-1929) left its mark on virtually every aspect of the fine and performing arts in the West. The artists who worked with the Ballets Russes - among them Stravinsky, Picasso, Matisse, Nijinsky, Prokofiev, and Balanchine - made the company a force in defining the avant-garde in the early part of the century. This illustrated book surveys the dance, art, music, and cultural worlds of the Ballets Russes."--BOOK JACKET.
