a luxurious hommage to Nijinsky
Iribe was a French designer and fashion illustrator who for a while was a member of the Ballets Russes circle, hence these depictions of the troupe's most celebrated dancer. Nijinsky is shown here dancing in the ballets Giselle and Scheherazade. The poet, Jean Cocteau was keen to have his work associated with that of the Ballets Russes in the hope that Serge Diaghilev would in turn want to collaborate with him.Limited edition, one of 999 copies, on papier japon; 4to (30.7 x 30.1 cm); 6 plates by Paul Iribe each with verse by Jean Cocteau; original printed wrappers, replacement black cord tie, some staining to lower cover, a very good copy.
