When Spy Kids 3D revealed that the Grandpa had been hunting down the Toymaker we all assumed it was revenge, the movie was framing it like it was a revenge story

Even despite the insistence of him himself, asking Juni to just trust him on this

Then pulled the twist that Grandpa was searching for him, not to exact his revenge for the accident that paralyzed him, but to assure his friend that he was forgiven

Leon Bakst was a painter and a costume and scene designer. He was born Lev Samoylovich Rosenberg in April 27, 1866 in Belarus.

Self Portrait, 1893, oil painting.

Bakst was born in a jewish middle class family in the tsarist Russia. His grandfather was a well know tailor and won as a present from the Tsar a very big house in Saint Petersburg; said house made a huge impact on Bakst, and after he and his parent moved to the capitol, he continued to visit his grandfather and his house every saturday.

By the age of 12 he won a drawing contest and decided that he wanted to be a painter; a decision that did not pleased his parents.

After graduating from gymnasium and even though he failed of the admissional test, Bakst enrolled as a noncredit student in the “Saint Petersburg Academy of Arts” until his second year (1883), when he passed the admissional test and became a credited student.

In the academy he met and befriended his lifelong friend the painter Valentin Serov.

In 1887 Bakst submitted a Pietà for a school competition. His work showed Mary with red-rimmed eyes and the disciples as impoverished Jews. Such work shocked and scandalized the school authorities that ended up dismissing him from the competition.

By this time he began to work as a book illustrator.

Even though Bakst was proud of his family jewish roots, he lived in a period of time that an anti semitic view was very strong in Russia, so thinking about his business he decided to change his jewish last name, Rosenberg, to his mothers maiden name, Bakst.

In the beginning of the 1890s Bakst showed cased his works among the Society of Watercolorists.

Between the years of 1893 to 1897 he lived in Paris, where he studied at the “Académie Julian”; Although he was living in Paris, he didn’t stop visiting his grandfathers house in Saint Petersburg.

After the second part of the decade of 1890 Bakst became a member of the group of artists, writers, and art related people that was know as the “Nevsky Pickwickians”. As a member of this group he met the ballet critic and businessman Sergei Diaghilev, and the artist Alexander Benois. Both of them were very important in Bakst professional life. Together they were better known as the ones responsible for the art movement know as “Mir Iskusstva” (“World of Arts” in english). Diaghilev and Benois also created a magazine of the same name as the movement. In this magazine Bakst was responsible for the graphic part, such work brought him success and fame.

In 1898 he showcased his work in the exposition “First Exhibition of Russian and Finnish Artists”, organized by Diaghilev, as well as in the Munich Secession, in exhibitions of “The World of Arts”, in exhibitions of the “Union of Russian Artists”, and others.

He also worked as a painter, painting portraits of people such as the painter Filipp Malyavin in 1899, the writer and philosopher Vasily Rozanov in 1901, the writer and poet Andrei Bely in 1905 and the water and poet Zinaida Gippius in 1906.

Another job he had was as a art teacher to the children of Russian Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich.

In 1902 Bakst accepted a commission from Tsar Nicholas II to paint “Admiral Avellan and Russian sailors meeting” in Paris. He eight years to finish it.

During the Russian revolutions of 1905 he worked for magazines like Zhupel, Adskaja, Pochta, Satyricon and Apollon.

In 1908 he started o work with the support he is most famous for, the set and costume design for ballets pieces.

In 1909 got involved with the design of sets for some greek tragedies.

It was with Diaghilevs ballet company, the “Ballets Russes”, that Bakst gained international fame. As part of the company he worked in the design of costumes and sets of ballets such as: “Cléopâtre” in 1909, “Scheherazade” in 1910, “Carnaval” in 1910, “Narcisse” in 1911, “Le Spectre de la Rose” in 1911, “L’après-midi d’un faune” in 1912 e “Daphnis et Chloé” in 1912.

It was through the Ballet Russes that Bakst met two of his most importants friends, the ballerinas Anna Pavlovna and Ida Rubinstein. Both of them ended up creating their own dance companies and invited Bakst to work with them.

During this time, Bakst lived in western Europe because, as a Jew, he did not have the right to live permanently outside the Pale of Settlement in the Russian Empire.

He became a teacher at Elizaveta Zvantsevas (a painer and art teacher) school of art called “Zvantseva School of Drawing”. There, one of his favorites students was Marc Chagall, and according to him, when Chagall was told to do something, he would listen carefully and then he would take his paint and brush and do something completely different.

Althoug he was better known as a set and costume designer, during this period of time known as art Déco (artistic movement from the 1920s) it was commom among british families to order paintings from famous artists. Therefore he was able to work on paintings such as “The Sleeping Beauty”, a painting comissioned by James and Dorothy de Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor in 1913. The story is depicted in seven panels that line the walls of an oval, theatrical styled space in the Buckinghamshire manor house today.

In 1914 he became a member of the “Imperial Academy of Arts”.

In 1914 Bakst also met the art philanthropist Alice Warder Gerrett in paris, when Mrs. Garrett was accompanying her husband, a diplomat, in Europe. They became instant friends and Bakst was able o depend on her as a friend, a confident and an agent.

When the Garretts returned to the United States in 1920, Mrs. Garrett became Baksts representative there and organized two exhibitions at New York’s Knoedler Gallery and some traveling shows. When they arrived in Baltimore, where the couple lived at Evergreen house, Bakst re-designer the dining room into a shocking acidic yellow and ‘Chinese’ red confection. He also transformed the houses small gymnasium into a colorfully modernist private theatre.

In 1922 Bakst ended his friendship and relations with Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes.

He died on Dezember 27 1924, in a clinic at Rueil Malmaison, near Paris, of pulmonary edema.

At his funeral friends and admires, amongst them famous artists, poets, musicians, dancers and critiques, formed a procession to accopany his body to the grave and participated in a very moving ceremony.

Soon after he designed the costumes for the ballet “Jeux”, for the Ballets Russes, Bakst collaborated with the couture house Paquin in 1913, and ever since so he became involved with the design of dresses and textile products till the end of his life.

He would frequently use oriental, neo-classical and Russian ethnic aesthetic idioms.

Due to his symbolist artistic education, personal taste and financial circustances, Bakst never fulfilled his dream of dressing the woman of the future within the commercial world of haute couture.

Instead, the clothes he designed during the period of the beggining of the first world war till his death, were worn by selet group of rich and extravagant women.

Leon Bakst was a big defender of modernity, and a very competent and skilful manipulator of contemporary media in which he vigorously promoted his own oeuvre, the phenomenon of fashion and the concept of a new emancipated woman.

Bakst, Léon Leon Bakst was a painter and a costume and scene designer. He was born Lev Samoylovich Rosenberg in April 27, 1866 in Belarus.

[amodaresumida]

Leon Bakst foi um pintor, cenógrafo e figurinista russo nascido como Lev Samoylovich Rosenberg em 27 de Abril de 1866.

Auto-Retrato, 1893, pintura a óleo.

Bakst nasceu em um família judia de classe média na Russia czariana. Seu avô era um alfaiate de grande renome e ganhou de presente do Czar uma grande casa em São Petersburgo; tal casa impressionou muito Bakst, e depois de sua família se mudar para a capital ele continuou a visitar seu avô e sua casa todos os sábados.

Aos 12 anos ganhou um concurso de desenho e decidiu tornar-se pintor; decisão a qual não agradou seus pais.

Após se formar no ensino fundamental e apesar de ter falhado no exame admissional, Bakst começou a cursar a “Academia de Artes de São Petersburgo” como aluno sem crédito até seu segundo ano, quando conseguiu passar no exame na segunda tentativa.

Na academia conheceu e tornou-se amigo do artista Valentin Serov, uma amizade que foi eterna.

Ainda na academia chegou a participar de um concurso em que ele inscreveu uma Pietà na qual era possível ver as imagens bíblicas de Maria, que apareceu com os olhos vermelhos de choro, e os discípulos, que foram retratados como judeus pobres. As autoridades da escola ficaram escandalizadas e o desqualificaram.

Nessa mesma época ele também começou a trabalhar como ilustrador de livros, e em 1883 foi admitido como aluno na “Academia Imperial de Artes” (Hoje conhecida como “Academia de Artes da Russia”).

Apesar de ter orgulho das origens judias da sua família, Bakst viveu em um período da história em que havia uma onda de anti-semitismo na Russia. Acredita-se que o motivo para Bakst ter mudado seu nome de Rosenberg, um nome judeu, para Bakst, o nome de solteira de sua mãe, foi por receio que o nome de origem judia fosse lhe atrapalhar nos negócios.

No começo dos anos 1890 Bakst passou a expor seus trabalhos junto a sociedade de aquarelistas.

Entre os anos de 1893 à 1897 ele viveu em Paris, onde passou a estudar na Academia Julien, mas não deixou de visitar São Petersburgo.

Depois do meio da década de 1890 Bakst tornou-se membro do grupo conhecido como “Nevsky Pickwickians”. Era um grupo de artistas, escritores e figuras ligadas as artes, que possibilitou que Bakst se relacionasse com duas pessoas importantes para sua vida profissional, o empresário Sergei Diaghilev e o artista Alexander Benois, mais conhecidos como os responsáveis pelo movimento artístico “Mir Iskusstva”(“Mundo das Artes” em português). Diaghilev e Benois também criaram a revista de arte de mesmo nome que o movimento. Nessa revista Bakst ficou responsável em ajudar na parte gráfica. Tal trabalho trouxe-lhe muito sucesso e fama.

Retrato de Sergei Diaghilev por Leon Bakst, 1906.

Em 1898 ele expôs seus trabalhos na exposição, organizada por Diaghilev, “Primeira Exposição de Artistas Russos e Finlandeses”, expôs em exposições do “Mundo das Artes”, exposições da “Secessão de Munique”, exposições da “União dos Artistas Russos”, assim como outras.

Também trabalhou com retratos de pessoas como o pintor russo Filipp Malyavin em 1899, o escritor e filósofo Vasily Rozanov em 1901, o escritor e poeta Andrei Bely em 1905 e a escritora e poeta Zinaida Gippius em 1906.

Outro emprego que teve foi o de professor de artes para as crianças da família do Grande Duque Vladimir Alexandrovich da Russia.

Em 1902 Bakst aceitou a encomenda feita pelo Czar Nicolau II de pintar a reunião entre o  Almirante Avellan e os marinheiros russos, que aconteceu em Paris. Ele começou a obra durante as comemorações de 17 à 25 de Outubro, e só conseguiu terminar 8 anos depois.

Durantes as revoluções russas de 1905 Bakst trabalhou para as revistas Zhupel, Adskaja, Pochta, Satyricon e Apollon.

Em 1908 Bakst começou a trabalhar com a mídia que lhe rendeu mais sucesso, o design de cenários e figurinos de balés.

Em 1909 se envolveu no design de sets para algumas tragédias gregas.

Foi com a companhia de dança de seu amigo Diaghilev, a companhia “Ballets Russes”(“Balés Russos” em português) que Bakst conseguiu renome internacional. Ele se envolveu com a produção do palco e do figurino de balés como Cleópatra em 1909, Scheherazade em 1910, Carnaval em 1910, Narcisse em 1911, Le Spectre de la Rose em 1911, L’après-midi d’un faune em 1912 e Daphnis et Chloé em 1912.

Durante esse período Bakst viveu no Leste Europeu, por causa do decreto russo que não permitia que um judeu vivesse permanentemente fora da Zona de Assentamento, que constituía-se em parte do território russo e parte de alguns países do leste europeu.

Felizmente ele pôde visitar São Petersburgo e dar aulas de pintura na escola “Zvantseva School of Drawing” ( “Escola de Desenho da Zvantseva” em português), da pintora e professora de artes Elizaveta Zvantseva. Um de seus alunos favoritos era o pintor Marc Chagall, que segundo Bakst, era um bom aluno que escutava atentamente as instruções das lições propostas, e assim que pegava as tintas e pincel, fazia algo completamente diferente.

Apesar de ser mais conhecidos por seus trabalhos para os palcos dos balés, durante o período conhecido como Art Déco (movimento artístico da década de 1920) era muito comum entre as famílias britânicas encomendar-se quadros para ornar suas casas. Portanto Bakst pôde trabalhar pintando obras como a história da Bela Adormecia feita em 7 painéis encomendada em 1913 para a mansão Waddesdon de James e Dorothy de Rothschild no condado de Buckinghamshire.

Em 1914 tornou-se membro da “Academia Imperial de Artes”.

Também em 1914 Bakst conheceu a artista e filantropa Alice Warder Gerrett em Paris, quando a senhora Gerrett estava acompanhando seu esposo diplomata na Europa. Os dois tornaram-se amigos rapidamente, e Bakst passou a confiar nela como uma confidente e agente.

Quando os Gerretts voltaram para os EUA em 1920, a senhora Gerrett tornou-se a representante de Bakst lá. Ela organizou duas exposições na “Galeria Knoedler” em Nova York e depois algumas exposições itinerantes.

Voltando para Baltimore onde a família Gerrett possuía uma mansão chamada “Evergreen”, Bakst decorou a sala de jantar usando um amarelo ácido chocante com um vermelho chinês. Ele também transformou o pequeno ginásio da propriedade em um pequeno teatro particular colorido e moderno. Acredita-se que esse foi o único teatro particular no qual Bakst trabalhou.

Em 1922 Bakst terminou sua amizade com Diaghilev e os “Ballets Russes”.

Ele morreu no dia 27 de Dezembro de 1924 em uma clínica em Rueil Malmaison, perto de Paris, de um edema pulmonar.

No dia do seu enterro familiares, amigos e diversos admiradores, entre eles os mais famosos artistas, escritores, críticos , poetas, músicos e dançarinos de sua época, formaram uma grande e comovente procissão que acompanho o corpo até seu túmulo.

Logo após ter desenhado o figurino da peça de balé “Jeux”, da companhia “Ballets Russes”,  Bakst colaborou com a casa de costura Paquin, da estilista Jeanne Paquin, em 1913 e desde então passou a se envolver com vestidos e produções têxteis até o fim de sua vida.

Ele frequentemente usava idiomas orientais, neo-clássicos e estéticas étnicas russas.

Devido à sua educação artística simbolista, gosto pessoal e circunst��ncias financeiras Bakst não realizou o seu sonho de vestir a mulher do futuro dentro do mundo comercial da alta costura.

Ao invés disso suas roupas feitas durante o período da I Guerra Mundial até sua morte eram criadas como peças únicas para um grupo seleto de mulheres extravagantes e muito ricas.

Ainda assim Bakst foi um grande defensor da modernidade e um competente manipulador da mídia contemporânea, na qual vigorosamente promoveu sua própria oeuvre, o fenômeno da moda e o conceito da nova e emancipada mulher.
