An excellent combination of early 20th century art and a unique guide to St. Petersburg — the book “In the Footsteps of Diaghilev in St. Petersburg. Addresses of Great Ideas.” The authors of the book — Daria Borisova, one of the speakers of the cultural and educational project BigCity.Art, as well as its creators Elizaveta Zinovieva and Natalia Karaseva — invite the reader to go on a journey to places where innovative ideas were born and fateful meetings took place that became key points in the history of not only Russian, but also world art.
Walking along the streets of St. Petersburg with this book, you will find out where the apartment was located where Sergei Diaghilev grew up, in which house the idea of creating the “Russian Seasons” appeared, which became a big news item for all of Europe. You will be able to see the houses of the northern capital, where exhibitions of such great artists as Serov, Levitan, Vrubel and many others were once held before their works were sent to other countries along with Sergei Diaghilev.
The pages of the book are permeated with the atmosphere of St. Petersburg of that time. Here, every street and building is full of inspiration and creativity of a real producer of the early 20th century. Studying archival documents and walking along routes compiled in the footsteps of the great impresario, you will find yourself in the epicenter of the cultural life of the early last century, feel the pulse of the era and traces of those daring innovations that left an indelible mark on world painting, ballet and other forms of art.
