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. He also personally decorated many of the more than seventy costumes for Aleko, some of which were sewn by his wife, Bella. 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. The costumes are owned by the Chagall estate. This was his first work for the ballet. (Source: Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) [website]; http://www.lacma.org )
