Leon Bakst (Russian: Лев Самойлович Бакст) was a prominent Russian painter and stage designer, celebrated for his innovative contributions to the world of art and theater. Born in the late 19th century, Bakst became a central figure in the cultural renaissance that swept through Russia and Europe, leaving an indelible mark on the visual and performing arts.
Bakst's work is distinguished by its rich use of color, intricate patterns, and imaginative compositions, which brought to life the exotic and often fantastical themes of the ballets and operas for which he designed. His association with the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking ballet company that performed across Europe and America, solidified his reputation as a visionary artist. The costumes and sets he created for productions like "The Firebird" and "Scheherazade" were celebrated for their creativity and exoticism, influencing not only the world of theater but also fashion and interior design.
His art extends beyond the stage, with paintings and illustrations that capture the same vibrancy and innovation found in his theatrical work. Museums and galleries around the world, including the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, house his works, allowing art lovers to experience the magic of Bakst's creations.

Jacques Lipchitz was a Cubist sculptor. Lipchitz retained highly figurative and legible components in his work leading up to 1915-16, after which naturalist and descriptive elements were muted, dominated by a synthetic style of Crystal Cubism. In 1920 Lipchitz held his first solo exhibition, at Léonce Rosenberg's Galerie L'Effort Moderne in Paris. Fleeing the Nazis he moved to the US and settled in New York City and eventually Hastings-on-Hudson.
