Exposition Monaco, Moscou 2009

En mai 1909, Serge Diaghilev stupéfia le monde de la danse avec les premières représentations parisiennes de ses ballets, combinaison sans précédent de grâce et de vitalité, d’originalité et de raffinement technique. Monte-Carlo, qui fut pour Diaghilev un important centre d’activités pendant l’existence de la compagnie connue sous le nom de Ballets russes, célèbre ce centenaire par une grande exposition comptant plus de 300 oeuvres d’art ayant trait aux Saisons russes de 1909 à 1929. L’exposition s’accompagne d’un catalogue entièrement illustré auquel ont contribué les plus grands spécialistes de l’histoire du ballet et des arts visuels russes. Les productions légendaires du Pavillon d’Armide, de Cléopâtre, de Schéhérazade, du Sacre du printemps de Petrouchka, de Parade et de bien d’autres ballets revivent à travers des projets de décors, des costumes, des tableaux, des sculptures, des photographies, des éditions de luxe, des programmes et des objets de culture matérielle. Les oeuvres d’art proviennent d’une grande variété de collections publiques et privées, nationales et internationales, telle la collection Fokine du Musée du théâtre de Saint-Pétersbourg. Les créations scéniques de Diaghilev s’accompagnent d’un nombre important de tableaux, de dessins et d’autres objets contextuels qui ont caractérisé la renaissance culturelle russe dans les premières décennies du XXe siècle. L’exposition et son catalogue s’inscrivent dans une plus vaste série de manifestations ayant trait à l’activité de Diaghilev à Monte-Carlo et à Moscou, comprenant des spectacles de ballet, des films, des conférences et un colloque international.

Dr. Bashir as Nijinsky's Faun

First Star Trek: Deep Space Nine fanart! I've been getting more interested again in Star Trek lately and wanted to make a drawing related to that.

Context + details under the cut + alt version

There are quite a few "jokes" circulating in the Trek fandom about Dr. Julian Bashir being a ballet fan, or even a ballet dancer himself, because of his ex-girlfriend being a ballerina, so I got inspired by that and... drew him as the faun from the ballet "Prélude à l'après midi d'un faune" by Vaslav Nijinsky, based on the piece of the same title by Claude Debussy (which again, was based on the poem "L'Après midi d'un faune" by Stéphane Mallarmé).

The costume was, obviously, heavily based on the original from the ballet by Léon Bakst, although I made some adaptations to make it look more futuristic (? though this was hard because the original attire itself is already pretty modern), and also make sure Bashir was recognizable (I replaced the headpiece that maintained the horns with a rose crown, which I guess isn't fully off tracks either because Léon Bakst did design a costume made of roses for another ballet!)

And no, this isn't "Vulcanface", that's the actual makeup of the faun in the ballet haha.

I dedicate this drawing to my friend @bashircore! Dr. Bashir is his favorite Star Trek character.

The veil Julian is holding is Elim Garak's, by the way. :)
