ballet russes

I love ballet. I love this company.
I loved looking through this book.
Oh for a time when a ballet company hired artists like Picasso, Matisse and Coco Chanel to design their sets and costumes. And also one of my absolute favourite Australian artists Sidney Nolan.
For more delicious images and designs.

  1. That's too funny...I have a ballet post too.
    Wouldn't it have been fabulous to see these costumes by those famous artists...
    I would have loved to have dabbled in Theatre design...
