Description:
|
Created for the 1942 Ballet Theatre of New York (now the American Ballet Theatre) production (premiere Mexico City). Chagall accompanied the Ballet Theatre troupe to Mexico, where, outside the jurisdiction of American stage-painters' unions, he was able to help execute his designs. Chagall was given the chance to draw upon his memories of Russia through the production of Aleko, a ballet based on a poem by Alexander Pushkin and set to Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Trio in A Minor. The story follows an aristocratic youth who joins a band of Romany ("gypsy") travelers, falls in love with the chieftain’s daughter, and eventually murders her when she leaves him for another man. This was his first work for the ballet. These works are studies for the large backdrop paintings, in the MOMA collection.
