Blue, pink and BRONZE.
Blue, pink and BRONZE.
When the person zatantseval? During those wild times, when prometej
Yet has not presented to it fire, and it was necessary to be warmed? Or dance
Was born together with ritual ceremonies? It is not known... But as
Only there is a dance, somebody is, aspiring to embody
It. Dance scenes can be seen in caves and in the Egyptian
Tombs, dance was moulded by ancient Greeks and Romans what to speak about
Times close to us - the nineteenth and twentieth centuries! Many,
okolodovannye dance, aspire to embody that remains from
It when it stops...
This time it at me in hands.
And Edgar Degas first here. The artist has taken a great interest in ballet still in 70 h
Years of the nineteenth century and till last days remained
It is correct to this inclination. On its pictures it is possible to restore all
Stages of dancing career of the ballerina. From the first shy steps in
tantsklasse to adult balerinskoj lives.
With sharp pleasure peeps Degas hidden from public
Movements of dancers. Basically it is rehearsals and employment in a class.
"A dancing class of the Opera", "Rehearsal", "Rehearsal on a scene",
"Tantsklass", "the Dancer at the photographer" - pictures, where prose
Ballet life it is transformed by the artist into dance poetry, standard
Dancing pases appear as the inventive choreographic
Finds. But is in a ballet series of the master and episodes of the scenic
Triumph of the ballerina. So, in "Tonic" grace and charm are shown
Ballerinas at the moment of execution of solo number. And in this
To pink ballet dream there is a delight and Degas's ecstasy classical
Dance. Soft contacts of a brush pass lightness of a pack, it
perelivy, seize similarity of a pink speck of lips of the ballerina with
Coral colours of a buttonhole on its corsage. And "Blue
Dancers ", executing the illusive dance, became a smash hit
Picturesque and dancing simultaneously. From the found
Degas's refinement passes beauty of the approximated shoulders, chignons,
Low necks, magical movements of hands and graceful inclinations
Heads. It is said that this razmytost and figures and a background was not
Degas's art invention, and it is called by the become aggravated illness
Eye.
When the artist began to see absolutely badly, it has left painting
For the sake of a sculpture. To it even attribute words: "I should study
Craft blind ". All its sculptures remained in wax and clay.
"To leave after itself something in bronze - too big
Responsibility, - Degas spoke. - after all it forever ". Degas has made
The set of sculptures, and only the one or two have been cast at it
Lives, besides in plaster. Once he has told about "Dancer", which
Altered in twentieth time: "This time it at me in hands. Still
One-two session, also it is possible to invite the caster ". Next day
The acquaintance of the artist who has come to him in a workshop, has seen, that
The dancer is again transformed into a wax lump. Having noticed its surprise,
Degas has told: "you, of course, think, how much it would cost. But
If to me have given a full cap of brilliants it would not deliver
To me that pleasure, that I have tested, when have broken it just for the hell of it
To begin all at first ".
To itself it is not similar.
What only histories do not happen between the artist and it
tantsmodelju. Romantic, dramatic, even the comical. Prince Paolo
Trubetsky, the talented sculptor and the author of a monument to the emperor
To Alexander III on the area before the Nikolaev palace in
Petersburg, has decided to execute a figurine of the tonic of Mariinsky theatre
Matildy Kshesinsky. For Matildy Feliksovny, differing
Restless character, it was not so pleasant employment.
But after much persuasion she nevertheless has agreed to pose.
It was in the summer, on a summer residence. The prince has started to mould it in a greenhouse, where
It was very light, and the most important thing - was not necessary to be afraid,
That it will soil clay all room, as, captured
Passion, the prince was accustomed to scatter anywhere the wet
Sticky clay... First a figurine made in half
Full size, it was very similar on Kshesinsky. After
Moving to a city the prince continued to work for the ballerina in the house.
However, when the season has begun, it has been for days on end occupied on
Rehearsals also could not pose, and not finished figurine
Have put in a carriage shed. Once to it visitors, among them have come
Were the prince Trubetsky and the stepbrother of ballerina Phillip Lede.
It has stuck to the prince Trubetsky that that has allowed to look on
Figurine. All have gone to a carriage shed. Phillip became
To praise highly job of the prince, being amazed with surprising similarity with
The original. And, wishing it is even more to please the author, has blurted out:
"Here at once the hand of the master, huge talent, not that that is felt
In an ugly monument to Alexander III ". The brother also did not suspect,
That the monument was done too by the prince Trubetsky. Kshesinsky, choking from
Laughter, a bullet has taken off from a carriage shed.
As to a figurine - when it has been finished, similarity
Has disappeared; at the prince so often happened. In 1911 admirers
Wished to present a sculpture Kshesinsky on the occasion of its 25 anniversary
Jobs on a scene, but the ballerina has refused. Not so, probably,
It would be desirable to have in the house itself liked, on itself not the similar.
Bolero of a wounded lioness.
One more lady, and more one picturesque history. Ida Rubinshtejn -
The rich woman, the extravagant woman, the dancer, the actress. On all
Visibilities, Ida at the beginning of the twentieth century showed strange for this purpose
Time type biznesvumen, from which today a frost on a skin and
Emetic desires. One of poets wrote about Ide Lvovne:
The child of advertising of the noisy sonorous!
Feather, cutter
And flattery thin.
To you have erected
Pedestal.
But has created all
"Literature",
Legends, painting, a sculpture -
Not your talent,
And... The capital.
Severely, but it is correct. Ida occurred from the richest Jewish
Families also presumed to itself any whim. To reserve
Extravagant dresses to travel, have a private residence in Paris,
To hunt on lions, to contain own ballet troupe... But
One only money does not give the admission in history. Something is necessary still
To create and something to amaze. Ide Rubinshtejn it was possible. It
Reserved to composers music for the performances, and among
Custom-made production such masterpieces, as "Persefona", "the Kiss of the fairy"
Stravinsky and Ravel's "Bolero". Contemporaries marked
Surprising appearance Idy, its wonderful east profile with
Narrow almond-shaped eyes and long, harmonous, angular
Body which, appear, has just descended from the Egyptian
Bas-relief. And two pantomimical roles created Idoj in ballets
"Cleopatra" and "SHaherezada", have literally bewitched Paris. Has admired
The actress and artist Valentine Serova. The artist named the actress
"A wounded lioness" and with pleasure undertook its portrait. Serov
Wrote I go in the church transformed by it in art studio.
When Ida passed on a monastic court yard, from all windows were
Cells heads of those who burnt with the desire to see were put out
The extravagant actress. Rubinshtejn it was pleasant, that sessions
Occur in the former monastic church, that it poses naked,
All it was in its style. Responded character Rubinshtejn and that
Inventive pose in which the actress appears. Turned out,
As if the body twirled by the screw, the crossed feet, one of which
It is crossed by a long thin scarf, extending and without that long
Feet. An Assyrian profile and a small head in a shock of the dense
Black curls... This portrait became last finished job
Serova. And as to a dance subject, among other dancers,
Embodied Serovym, - Vaclav Nizhinsky, Tamara Karsavina,
Ballet master Michael Fokin. And still Anna Pavlovoj's flying silhouette on
The poster created Serovym for First Russian season in Paris and
Become by its symbol.
Afternoon rest.
During Russian season of 1912 in Paris has inflamed
The present scandal in which sculptor Ogjust has taken part
Rodin. Ballet "Afternoon rest of a faun" on became fault to all
Music Debussy put by Vaclav Nizhinsky. Not so much
Ballet, how much its ending. When Nizhinsky - a faun lays down on
The veil forgotten by the nymph, dreams, plays from it and, at last, in roast
Ecstasy masturbates. The part of public shocked with the similar
Frankness, began to shout and stamp, another, on the contrary,
Welcomed a novelty. Among enthusiastic admirers of ballet
There was sculptor Ogjust Rodin. Next day the newspaper "Figaro"
Has placed the devastating article about "Faun" in which has burst
The owner of the newspaper and its editor Kalmett. And when across Paris
Hearings have spread, that the police will forbid "Faun", because "Figaro"
Has branded it as obscene, Rodin admired with Nizhinsky,
Publishes article in the newspaper "Maten", the main competitor "Figaro",
Where hotly protects performance. This very day Nizhinsky visits
Rodin to express gratitude for protection, and agrees on
The offer of the sculptor to pose for it. But next day
Rodin was waited by terrible blow. Kalmett acts in "Figaro" from the sharp
Criticism already Rodin's creativity, naming its drawings
Obscene, which the frankness and shamelessness
Surpass "Faun". But the main trouble consisted in
The friend. Kalmett has addressed to the French government, which
Has got hotel Biron for six millions francs only then,
To resolve richest of the French sculptors to live there.
Rodin was frightened, that it will move from hotel, and destiny of its museum
Hangs by a thread. Then he writes the new letter in "Maten", where
Renounces Nizhinsky's protection. But "Maten", occupied
Certain position, Rodin's refutation does not publish.
Nizhinsky has agreed to pose three evenings in a week, while
Rodin will not finish a sculpture. And still Nizhinsky has become puzzled,
When Ogjust has asked to pose it for the bared. The dancer
Has confusedly asked:
- This your usual condition, the master?
- Certainly.
Once Sergey Dyagilev disturbed by sessions, where it
The intimate friend appeared bared before "slastoljubivym the old
satirom "as Rodin's Frenchmen named, has solved unexpectedly
To appear suddenly in a workshop. Dyagilev has arrived and has seen, that Rodin and
The bared faun - Nizhinsky, razmorennye the sun and drunk wine,
Sleep almost in embraces each other. There was between them something or not?
Nobody knows, but Dyagilev long could not forget that sculptural
Composition.
From depths of heavenly blue.
Antoine was other sculptor - admirer Nizhinsky
Burdel. In the notes, admiring its art, the sculptor
Wrote: "Nizhinsky is represented to me a being, as if streamed
From the depths of heavenly blue. In him something is felt from
Clearness and cleanliness of burning rocks, from the fiery flaring
Plants... Its dance is fragile. As if an air veil.
As if love breath. Divine fire penetrates it
Through. It is passion of a sacred animal, which sometimes
Gets in the inheritance to the person... "Results Burdelja in delight and
Dance of great barefoot person Ajsedory Dunkan. To It too are devoted
Pathetic lines: "Ajsedora danced at home for me
One - as if the tree rocked on a wind and birds flied up on
Its branches. And long later after dance terminated,
Tree and birds over it continued the movement before mine
Mind... "" Such artists, as Dunkan and Nizhinsky,
Are similar to blossoming trees. Under impulses of a wind of harmony they
Are shaken, showering with us colours in which the genius "smells sweet. In
April, 1913 in Paris the Theatre of the Champs Elysц e has opened,
Decorated outside bas-reliefs Burdelja. Prototypes of one of them
- "Dance" - steels Dunkan and Nizhinsky.
Labyrinths.
Dance in painting, a sculpture, the schedule - can be recollected
Flying pencil of the admirer of a man's body of Jean Cocteau, sharp
Drawing of Lion Baksta, dim water colours of Alexander Fonvizin,
Dancing bronze Franchesko of Messina, colourful ballet cycle
Zynaidas Serebrjakovoj... But there is a dance and in jeweller art.
The Greek jeweller Ilias Lalaunis who has been carried away by idea, that "not
Exists the architectural form which would not be at first
It is embodied in dance ", and admired with dancing art, has created
Collection "Horeografizmy". A bracelet "Pas de deux" from gold and
obsidiana the friend represents two dancers, closely nestled to
To the friend. And a necklace and a bracelet the "Labyrinths", shining matte, hot
Light, suggest about infinite secret and attractiveness
The dance enticing into the gold labyrinths. Where so it is joyful
To lose the way.
BATTEMENT-JOKE.
Somehow between two dancers of the Bolshoi theatre has inflamed
Quarrel because of one leading soloist. Everyone tried to prove
The exclusive right to dance only with it. Having heard it,
One known ballerina has calmed them:
"Girls, do not rustle, all of us here relatives".
Ballerina Alicia Markovoj had very long nose. Someone from
Actors was surprised, why it will not perform plastic operation.
On what the remark has there and then followed: "In no event! After all then
It will lose the balance ".
Once at dinner in one of restaurants of Copenhagen Rudolf
Nureev began to beg ballet master Glenn Tetli to allow it
To dance in its ballet "Pero". In an impulse of arrangements Rudolf
Has exclaimed: "I will make everything, that you from me will demand, - even
I will thrust a hand to myself in a bum, I will pull out therefrom dung and I will rub with it the
Hair ".
(USA) distinguish troupe "Dayton Dans Kompani" the powerful technics and
Passionate expression. In its repertoire of job as classics
Dance-modernist style - Mercedes Kanningema, Josц Limona, and present
Choreographers of modern dance - Daga Varona, Bill Ti Johns... In
