THE LEGACY OF LÉON BAKST IN ENGLISH ARTISTIC CULTURE

Abstract

In the article the author analyses the reasons of Léon Bakst’s popularity with English theatre audience. Famous for his stage arrangements and costume designs, Bakst was one of the painters, who revolutionary changed the art of English theatre. Léon Bakst very quickly became a social and artistic star in London, particularly popular with the intellectuals of the Bloomsbury group. Using the example of Duncan Grant the author shows how Bakst’s works inspired the young English artists. His vibrant colour combinations greatly influenced fashion, applied arts, and interior design in England in the beginning of the 20th century.
