The turn of the century is often known as the age of Diaghilev. A world-famous impresario, Sergei Diaghilev also helped to found the World of Art (Mir iskusstva) group synonymous with the history of fin-de-siecle art in Russia. The oeuvres of its members - set and costume designs for the Ballets Russes and illustrations for books and the World of Art magazine - reflect the artistic ideas of the period. Diaghilev's projects brought together such famous artists, composers, choreographers and dancers as Leon Bakst, Valentin Serov, Mikhail Vrubel, Nicholas Roerich, Alexander Benois, Igor Stravinsky, Fyodor Chaliapin, Anna Pavlova and George Balanchine.
Besides a richly illustrated album section, the publication also contains a chronicle of events, biographies and archive photographs.
