Through the Legacy of Bakst: The Art of Aleona Isakova
The idea of one artist's career serving as inspiration for that of another provides the foundation for this exciting exhibition of the costume designs of contemporary Russian émigré Aleona Isakova, whose colorful vocabulary was inspired by the Ballet Russes' great Léon Bakst, creator of Evergreen's private theatre. Organized in honor of the ninetieth anniversary of Bakst's work for Alice Warder Garrett at Evergreen, the exhibition includes over 40 lavish works by Isakova, including a full costume, with some pieces showcased next to early-20th century Bakst drawings and Russian modernist ephemera.<br><br> Included with paid museum admission and on view as part of the guided tour, or $3 for the exhibition only.
