Nijinsky's Faun Costume in 'L'Apres Midi d'un Faune' by Claude Debussy from the front cover of the programme for the 7th season of the 'Ballets Russes'

The artwork titled "Nijinsky's Faun Costume in 'L'Après Midi d'un Faune'" by Leon Bakst (1912) exemplifies the vibrant energy of Art nouveau (modern) style. Bakst, a renowned designer, skillfully employs lithography to create a captivating image that highlights the dynamic costume design for the Ballets Russes. The piece reflects a blend of innovative design and flowing, organic forms characteristic of the modern aesthetic. Its bold, expressive lines capture the essence of the mythological figure and the avant-garde spirit of early 20th-century ballet.
