Known for his influential designs for the Ballets Russes, Bakst brings his dynamic, theatrical style to this political illustration, which portrays a bold leap from the Carpathian Mountains to Berlin, symbolizing a powerful advance into German territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakst’s image merges patriotic optimism with artistic expression, featuring a dancer in a vibrant red costume making an impossibly long leap across an exaggerated landscape. His body stretches across the expanse of mountains and fields, a striking symbol of movement and power. The vibrant red, an unmistakable focal point, evokes courage, energy, and determination, contrasting with the more subdued figures of the German and Austrian troops below, depicted with a sense of shock and vulnerability. This figure’s fluid, almost acrobatic motion is distinctly reminiscent of the Ballets Russes, known for innovative and expressive choreography—a cultural bridge between Bakst’s art and Russia’s wartime ambitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text at the top translates roughly as, “The great Russian painter, Léon Bakst, promises us soon: ‘From the Carpathians to Berlin, a leap in the style of the Ballets Russes, to the great amazement of these German and Austrian dogs.’” This line reinforces the bold optimism of the artwork, portraying German and Austrian forces in derogatory terms to rally French or Russian sentiment. During World War I, such depictions were not uncommon, as artists used caricature and national symbols to bolster morale and sway public opinion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustration is typical of Bakst’s unique fusion of fine art and theatricality. His background in costume and set design for the Ballets Russes is evident in the highly stylized approach, with a strong sense of movement and drama that extends beyond typical propaganda illustrations. Bakst, celebrated for his vibrant and dramatic visuals, applies similar techniques here, translating his visionary stage design into a politically charged visual commentary. His ability to evoke both elegance and intensity makes this piece an evocative example of art as a tool of wartime communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough primarily known as a designer and painter, Bakst’s venture into political artwork such as this demonstrates the reach and versatility of his talents. The piece stands as a testament to the era's fusion of cultural and political currents, illustrating how artists contributed to the wartime atmosphere by mobilizing their skills in service of national sentiment. Today, this work remains a compelling historical artifact, blending art and politics in a style uniquely Bakst's own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Poster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWar 14-18 - Political\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKarpaths in Berlin, a leap in the style of the Russian ballets, to the great stupor of these dogs of Germans and Austrians\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, a trace of fold\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bakst Léon","offers":[{"title":"40 x 54 \/ A  \/ On Linen","offer_id":41595061338297,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_04529Insta2.jpg?v=1730996351"},{"product_id":"ap_04552","title":"La prise de Berlin par les sovietiques Circa 1945","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatercolor ink and Lavis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Battle of Berlin was the last land battle of the Second World War in Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLaunched on April 16, 1945 by the Soviets, it ended on May 2, 1945 with the surrender of the last German soldiers in the Berlin garrison.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring this hopeless battle, Adolf Hitler, Führer of a desperate Reich, coordinated the German defense, but the Reich's under-equipped forces could not effectively oppose the Soviet units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDefeat having become inevitable, he put an end to his life on April 30, a few days before the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWar 39-45 - USSR -Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePorte de Brandenburg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie 1881","offers":[{"title":"38 x 47 \/ A","offer_id":41597229990073,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/products\/AP_04552Insta2.jpg?v=1676280741"},{"product_id":"ap_04553","title":"La prise de Berlin par les sovietiques Circa 1945","description":"\u003cp\u003eWood engraving\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Battle of Berlin was the last land battle of the Second World War in Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLaunched on April 16, 1945 by the Soviets, it ended on May 2, 1945 with the surrender of the last German soldiers in the Berlin garrison.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring this hopeless battle, Adolf Hitler, Führer of a desperate Reich, coordinated the German defense, but the under-equipped troops deployed by the Reich could not effectively oppose the Soviet units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDefeat having become inevitable, he put an end to his life on April 30, a few days before the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWar 39-45 - USSR - Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrandenburg Gate - Enhanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie 1881","offers":[{"title":"58 x 44 \/ A","offer_id":41595061862585,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/products\/AP_04553Insta2.jpg?v=1679932812"},{"product_id":"ap_04868","title":"Bienvenue au J.O. de Moscou ! 1979","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful Soviet poster of 1979 announcing the Olympic Games of Moscow of 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympic Games - USSR - Sport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, light traces of folds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Galerie 1881","offers":[{"title":"86 x 58 \/ A  \/ On Linen","offer_id":41597231333561,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/products\/AP_04868Insta2.jpg?v=1655203207"},{"product_id":"ap_04942","title":"Les camps de concentration en Union soviétique Circa 1940","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe original poster titled \"Les camps de concentration en Union soviétique - jamais ça en France\" (\"Concentration Camps in the Soviet Union - Never in France\") serves as a stark political statement, urging viewers to vote for the Socialist Party (S.F.I.O.) in opposition to the existence of concentration camps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with a powerful visual impact, the poster prominently features a map illustrating the concentration camps in the Soviet Union.
