There is a wonderful exhibition at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford entitled “The Ballets Russes”, a centennial celebration of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. This was the collaborative effort of the early twentieth century's top talent in dance, music and art; too many to list here, however, I will mention Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Picasso. Ballets Russes was a striving for art and beauty, and not, as is so often the case, a quest for mayhem and horror.
