The Golden Age of Costume and Set Design for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, 1938 to 1944

Published in conjunction with the October 2002 exhibit held at the Cincinnati Art Museum, this volume explores the scenic and costume designs produced for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo from 1938 to 1944, a period when the choreographers began to consider the scenic designers to be full partners in the creation of a production. The essays, reproductions of 42 color drawings, and 21 b&w photographs tell the story of the famous company, the designing of its costumes and scenery, and its major patron, Julius Fleischmann.
