The Hermitage Theatre and the World of Art ("Mir iskusstva") Movement

Annotation:

At the turn of the 20th century, the historic Hermitage Theatre became the stage for the creative experiments of the Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) movement. Inspired by 18th-century aesthetics, artists such as Léon Bakst, Alexander Benois, and Konstantin Somov revolutionized not only stage design but also transformed printed theatre programs into exquisite works of graphic art. The album showcases the Bakhrushin Museum’s unique collection of these elegant programs, reflecting the refined beauty and distinct style of the movement.
