Diaghilev’s Designers: the Second Generation

This exhibition focuses on theatre costumes designed by six major artists: Sonia Delaunay, André Derain, Henri Matisse, Natalia Gontcharova, Pavel Tchelitchev and Giorgio de Chirico. Engaged by Serge Diaghilev to produce sets and costumes for his company Les Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev, these men and women were responsible for some of the most spectacular episodes in the history of stage design.
