metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is dedicated to set designs and sketches for costumes, performed by Russian-French
  artist Dimitri Bouchène (1893–1993) for ballets choreographed by Serge Lifar. Bouchèn emigrated
  from the Soviet Union in 1925. In Europe he successfully worked in different styles
  and genres: as a painter, book illustrator and graphic artist, designer for fashion and interiors.
  Bouchène is known primarily as a set designer. He was the author of set designs and sketches
  for costumes for more than 30 productions: dramatic performances, operas, ballets, and individual
  dances. In the 1940s–1960s, he made stage designs for 6 ballets staged by Serge Lifar in
  France (Paris, Grand Opera), Sweden (Göteborg, Stora Theater) and Portugal (Lisbon, Tivoli
  Theater). The article is the first to summarize this material, touching on each performance
  and known designs for them in detail. Its aim is to identify the place and role of these works
  in developing the artistic manner of Bouchène and draw attention to the successfully formed
  creative and friendly tandem of the artist and choreographer. In the drawings made for Lifar’s
  ballets, the artist demonstrates a bold and broad stroke, active work of colour, inherent
  in his mature manner. Bouchène’s decoration designs are ornamental, full of expression and
  dynamics; they are distinguished by brilliance, play of saturated colour spots and temperamental
  manner. Creating sketches for costumes, Bouchène uses colour intensity, possibilities
  of various textures and the ability to combine them, accented with decorations to enhance and
  emphasize the characters and images.
