""Diaghileff: His Artistic and Private Life"" by Arnold L. Haskell is a biography of Sergei Diaghilev, the legendary Russian impresario and founder of the Ballets Russes. The book delves into both Diaghilev's professional and personal life, exploring his relationships with artists, composers, dancers, and patrons of the arts. Haskell provides insight into Diaghilev's creative process and the impact of his collaborations with artists such as Stravinsky, Picasso, and Nijinsky on the development of modern art and dance. The book also sheds light on Diaghilev's personal life, including his homosexuality and his relationships with various lovers. Through extensive research and interviews with those who knew Diaghilev, Haskell paints a vivid portrait of this influential figure in the world of art and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
