Bakst travelled widely throughout Europe and in 1890 joined the World of Art journal circle which numbered many artists among its members, the most famous being Benois and Diaghilev. This book illustrates the wealth of Baksts contribution to the world of theatre and dance. His best known work includes sets for Stravinskys Firebird, and Webers Spectre de la Rose.
