EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the iconic theatre play, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Created in 1921 by Alexandra Alexandrovna Exter, this piece is an exquisite example of tempera on cardboard artistry. Housed in the prestigious Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, it exudes a sense of theatrical brilliance. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this cubist-inspired masterpiece bring to life the timeless tale of love and tragedy. The actor's portrayal is enhanced by the unique blend of cubism and classical elements present in Exter's work. Each brushstroke captures the essence of Shakespearean drama, evoking emotions that resonate with audiences even today. As we gaze upon this painting, we are transported to a world where passion and despair intertwine on stage. The artist's mastery lies not only in her ability to capture movement but also in her understanding of character development within a visual medium. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic genius behind Exter's creation as well as the skillful execution required for such elaborate costume designs. It serves as a testament to the power of theatre, reminding us why Shakespeare remains one of history's greatest playwrights. In preserving this moment from history through photography, Bridgeman Images enables us to admire and study every delicate brushstroke while paying homage to Exter’s contribution to theatrical artistry.
