  • Vilnius Drawing School 1866–1915
    VILNIUS DRAWING SCHOOL 1866–1915 Summary Académie de Vilna... The title of the mystical Academy of Vilnius appears in numerous books and articles presenting creative biographies of the Litvak artists of the Paris school. The legend of the Academy was undoubtedly created by the artists themselves, which shows the high esteem enjoyed by their firstalma mater. “Montparnasse, the capital of Lithuanian art” – this is the title of the memoirs about painter Michel Kikoïne by Arbit Blatas, a Lithuanian expatriate, which refers to the entire conglomerate of Litvaks who had settled in Montparnasse. This was the beginning of L’École de Paris. “At the beginning of this story was Lithuania. It is impossible to forget its landscapes, its light, and its surroundings, which along with all their rituals perfused Kikoine, just like all of us, Slavic artists (i.e. artists who had come from the then-territory of the Russian Empire – J. Š.)”, Arbit Blatas wrote. “Lithuania, which is so far away, gave many artists a possibility to realize their talent, be it patriots of Russia, such as Levitan <...>, or France, to whom Paris was the Mecca of painting”. So, what was this Academy of Vilnius, which nurtured so many remarkable artists? This question is still bothering a great number of researchers ofL’École de Paris, let alone society at large. Specialists know the answer – it is the largely forgotten Vilnius Drawing School, which was founded by officials of tsarist Russia at the end of 1866. It operated up until the beginning of World War I, and in 1915, its entire inventory was evacuated to the depths of Russia, to Samara.

  • Musica Da André Campra, I Quali Ebbero Un Discreto Successo
    DAFNI E CLOE(balletto) Daphnis et Chloé è un balletto moderno, in un unico atto in tre parti, prodotto tra il 1909 e il 1912 per la compagnia Balletti russi di Sergej Pavlovi č Djagilev, con la coreografia di Michel Fokine e musiche, per orchestra e coro, di Maurice Ravel. Ravel iniziò a comporne il tema musicale nel 1909 su commissione di Diaghilev. La prima, eseguita dai Balletti Russi, si tenne al Théâtre du Châtelet di Parigi, l'8 giugno 1912 per la coreografia di Michel Fokine (come per quasi tutte le rappresentazioni della compagnia russa antecedenti al 1912) e la direzione d'orchestra di Pierre Monteux. Le pregevoli scenografie originali erano opera di Léon Bakst e il primo ballerino, nel ruolo di Dafni, era Vaclav Fomi č Nižinskij. Fokine adattò, come soggetto, Le avventure pastorali di Dafni e Cloe , il romanzo greco di Longo Sofista (II-III secolo), incentrato sull'amore bucolico e sensuale che sboccia tra il capraio Dafni e la pecoraia Cloe. I due ragazzi sono praticamente cresciuti assieme, allevati l'uno da Lamone e l'altra da Driante, due pastori che li avevano ritrovati entrambi neonati, abbandonati, a distanza di due anni, nella stessa boscaglia. Dopo diversi intrecci avventurosi, che vedono Cloe rapita dai pirati e la scoperta della vera identità dei genitori, l'opera si conclude con il matrimonio dei due amanti. Nel balletto viene mantenuta l'atmosfera pastorale e vivace del romanzo, in contraddizione con il progetto iniziale che prevedeva una impaginazione musicale antichizzante che avrebbe tuttavia contrastato con la coreografia.
