Ballets Suédois Set Design
Rolf de Maré and his Paris company Ballets Suédois rivaled Serge Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes during the early 1920s. De Maré controlled the beautiful Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, which also played host to Diaghilev's company. At the Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Maré oversaw productions that incorporated designs by artists Pierre Bonnard, Fernand Léger, Giorgio de Chirico, Gerald Murphy, and Paul Colin. Best known for his poster designs for theater, film, and music, Colin also made significant contributions as a theatrical designer. |
