И сложно сопоставить такую драму с именем одного из культовых театральных декораторов, модельера с мировым именем, задававшем тренды всем it girl Парижа рубежа веков.Да, да. Лев Бакст - автор этой вещи. Эта работа - результат поездки художника в Грецию и активного увлечения античной культурой.Сейчас мы разберемся, что здесь творится вместе с профессиональным искусствоведом, автором канала «Беллини и Бернини», автором книги «Главные шедевры мировой архитектуры» Дианой Трошиной.Без занудных академических опусов, с юмором и «по делу» о действительно важных вещах.Итак, это одна из самых знаменитых живописных работ Бакста - «Древний ужас», 1908 года.
