Russian FederationArt Brokerage: Léon Samoilovitch Bakst Russian Artist: May 10, 1866-December 28, 1924. He was a Russian painter and scene- and costume designer who revolutionized the arts he worked in. Born as Lev (Leib) Rosenberg, he was also known as Leon (Lev) Nikolayevich Bakst. Bakst is known for his stage designs and costumes for Sergei Diaghilev's "Ballets Russes". His designs are a mingling of very elegant and refined styles, themes and techniques.
