The book by the Dutch historian Sheng Scheyen is the most complete biography of Sergei Diaghilev (1872–1929) to date.
Diaghilev dreamed of becoming a singer, composer, art critic, but he undertook to compose a much more mysterious and global work - an image of the future art. The ability to capture and bring to light the new, the unprecedented is the very essence of his genius. Diaghilev's "Russian Seasons" for a hundred years in advance determined the reputation of Russian art as the most advanced, extraordinary and exciting ballet phenomenon.
A seer and a tyrant, a catcher of souls and an incorrigible loner, a visionary and a provocateur, he heard the music before the composer who composed it and saw the dance before the first step. Scheyen's book is unique and interesting not only for the main character, but for the great many details of Russian and European modernism, the dramaturgy of the relationships between the main names of music, theater and art of the XNUMXth century. Indeed, during his short life, Diaghilev communicated and collaborated with Chekhov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Bakst, Benoit, Rodin, Debussy, Matisse, Picasso, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Mayakovsky, Balanchine, Coco Chanel and others.
Diaghilev's biography is like an extravagant adventure novel, although everything in it is true.
The book contains rare photographs, documents, sketches of costumes and scenery - priceless evidence of art that lives beyond all boundaries.
