ABOUT THE WORK August Macke's Russian Ballet was created in 1912 and the painting is in Kunsthalle Bremen. The original size of the work is 103 x 81 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Since his student days in Düsseldorf, August Macke has had a special love of dance. In 1912, he saw the ballet Carnaval, to the music of Robert Schumann, in a performance of Sergei Diaghilev's famous Russian Ballet, with Vaslav Nijinsky in the leading role of Harlequin. Macke attended the performance several times and created no fewer than four paintings, one sculpture, and around 40 drawings on the subject, four of which are in the collection of the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) at the Kunsthalle Bremen. In Russian Ballet I, he allows the viewer to relive the dramatic climax of the piece: the abduction of the coquettish Columbine by the brash Harlequin. The third figure, the abandoned Pierrot, raises his arms plaintively—a gesture that echoes in the caryatid beneath the box railing. The lady in the hat on the right compositionally connects the darkened auditorium with the radiantly lit stage space. In its formal simplification and strong color scheme, Russian Ballet I indicates Macke's strong influence by the French Fauves. The Artist: August Macke (1887 – 1914) was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider).
