Description:
|
|
In 1958, the Paris Opera commissioned Chagall to design the sets and costumes for the ballet “Daphnis and Chloe” by Maurice Ravel and Mikhail Fokine (commissioned by Serge de Diaghilev in 1909). Inspired by the ancient Greek novel of Longus (2nd century CE), it describes the multiple twists that prevent Daphnis, young goatherd, and Chloe, shepherdess, to live their love. The first performance with Chagall's sets and costumes was at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels in 1958, choreographed by Serge Lifar, before being taken over by Georges Skibine in Paris the following year. Chagall also produced a series of 42 color lithographs, created as he created the sets and costumes. He was inspired by a visit to Greece and the contrasts of sunlight, blue sea and stone.
