A paradox: although he himself had no talent for painting, musical composition, or ballet staging, there is probably no field of art that did not feel his powerful influence. He possessed another gift\u2014the ability to recognize the talent of others\u2014and a boundless passion for art, to the point of giving it a new direction.  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764189\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"33\">\n<div class=\"t017\">\n<div class=\"t-container t-align_center\">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t017__title t-title t-title_xxs\"><strong>The family home<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764190\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"106\">\n<div class=\"t004\">\n<div class=\"t-container \">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t-text t-text_md \">This man, whose refined taste remains unrivalled, was born on March 31, 1872, in the Novgorod region (North-West), far from the country\u2019s cultural centres. Serge was the son of Colonel Pavel Diaghilev. His mother died shortly after his birth, but he grew up in an atmosphere of love, warmth, and comfort created by his stepmother. The family moved to Perm (about 1,500 kilometres east of Moscow), an industrial centre in the Urals.   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764191\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"182\">\n<div class=\"t167\">\n<div class=\"t-container\">\n<div class=\"t-prefix_2 t-col t-col_10\">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_5 t167__imgblock\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"t167__img t-img t-zoomable loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/fr.rbth.com\/longreads\/revolution-diaghilev\/images\/tild3763-3630-4633-a138-346563326132__b_rian_00009158hr_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-original=\"images\/tild3763-3630-4633-a138-346563326132__b_rian_00009158hr_b.jpg\" data-tu-max-width=\"920\" data-tu-max-height=\"920\" data-zoomable=\"yes\" data-img-zoom-url=\"images\/tild3763-3630-4633-a138-346563326132__b_rian_00009158hr_b.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"t167__imgdescr t-descr\">The Diaghilev family: Serge Diaghilev (right), Elena Pana\u00efeva\u2014the father\u2019s second wife, who succeeded Serge\u2019s mother (second from right), Yuri (centre), Pavel Pavlovich\u2014the father (second from left), and Valentin Diaghilev (left).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8\">\n<div class=\"t167__text t-text t-text_md\">The two-story house in the style of Russian Classicism that Serge&#8217;s grandfather purchased in the mid-19th century still stands in the city center. It was known as the &#8220;Athens of Perm,&#8221; as Diaghilev&#8217;s parents had transformed it into a true cultural hub that gathered the city&#8217;s elite every week to sing, play musical instruments, stage performances, and invite touring artists.<br \/>\nDespite the distance separating Perm from Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the family did not feel isolated from the cultural life of the two major cities: Serge&#8217;s stepmother, Elena, subscribed to various journals and the latest releases in literature and music. Students at the gymnasium Serge Diaghilev attended remembered that studies were the most tedious part of Serge&#8217;s life and that he had learned to devote a minimum of time and energy to them. In contrast, he studied languages, read books, learned the piano, took composition lessons, and performed in plays with great enthusiasm.   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764192\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"33\">\n<div class=\"t017\">\n<div class=\"t-container t-align_center\">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t017__title t-title t-title_xxs\"><strong>Long live the world of the arts!<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764193\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"222\">\n<div class=\"t194\">\n<div class=\"t-container\">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t194__text t-text t-text_md\">In 1890, Serge Diaghilev enrolled in the Faculty of Law at St Petersburg University.

Thanks to him, Serge\u2014whose charm had left no one indifferent since adolescence\u2014found himself at the heart of a young artistic circle. Diaghilev missed no concert, exhibition opening, or performance. His new friends swept him into the whirlwind of the artistic world as the Silver Age and modernism arrived, shining brightly in the artists\u2019 association <em>Mir iskousstva<\/em> (World of Art), founded in particular by Serge Diaghilev and his friends, the painters Alexandre Benois, L\u00e9on Bakst, and Valentin Serov. Diaghilev, already a university graduate, finally realized that his interests were a world away from the legal field. It became clear, however, that he could bring even the most complex artistic projects to life. The first were connected with education. As a co-founder of <em>Mir iskousstva<\/em>, he organized exhibitions of British and German watercolourists, as well as Russian and Scandinavian painters.       <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_2 t-align_left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"t194__img t-width t-width_2 t-img t-zoomable loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/fr.rbth.com\/longreads\/revolution-diaghilev\/images\/tild3539-3263-4534-b761-386534373366__b_rian_00004746hr_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-original=\"images\/tild3539-3263-4534-b761-386534373366__b_rian_00004746hr_b.jpg\" data-tu-max-width=\"800\" data-tu-max-height=\"800\" data-zoomable=\"yes\" data-img-zoom-url=\"images\/tild3539-3263-4534-b761-386534373366__b_rian_00004746hr_b.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"t194__sectitle\">The Russian theatre figure Serge Diaghilev (1872\u20131929) during his secondary school years.<\/div>\n<div class=\"t194__secdescr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764195\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"106\">\n<div class=\"t004\">\n<div class=\"t-container \">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t-text t-text_md \">A new stage in Serge Diaghilev\u2019s activities was marked by the creation of the magazine Mir iskousstva, which brought together Russia\u2019s intellectual and artistic forces.

For his programme, he chose productions by Mikhail Fokine, then 29, who was struggling to make his way at the conservative Mariinsky. His <em>Pavillon d&#8217;Armide<\/em>, his <em>Sylphides<\/em>, and his <em>Nuit d&#8217;\u00c9gypte<\/em> immersed the audience in European art, while the series of performances entitled <em>Festin<\/em> and <em>Danses polovtsiennes<\/em> showcased Russian local colour. The sets were created by Alexandre Benois and L\u00e9on Bakst. The emblem of this tour was the dancer Anna Pavlova, whose arabesque, captured in Valentin Serov\u2019s pencil drawing, adorned the posters.

It was under his impetus that the three-part ballet evening format remains the most popular in Western dance.<br \/>\nDuring the early years, each new season was more successful than the last. Initially, Serge Diaghilev captivated audiences with typically Russian themes in <em>Petrushka, The Firebird<\/em>, and <em>Scheherazade<\/em>, but their exoticism proved more radical than European innovations. The scandalous 1913 production of Igor Stravinsky&#8217;s ballet <em>The Rite of Spring<\/em>, choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky, marked a turning point in the history of the Ballets Russes: even before the First World War, it severed Serge Diaghilev and his troupe from Russia. The dress rehearsal of the ballet turned into a literal confrontation: the audience did not divide along ethnic or class lines, but split between supporters of modern and traditional art, the former armed with chairs and the latter charging with umbrellas.    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764208\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\"

This &#8220;Cubist&#8221; ballet<br \/>\n was presented only once, as it triggered public hostility. Yet, this was Diaghilev&#8217;s way of making his statement. Even without regular funding, even while entirely dependent on public success, he did not shrink from what he considered the primary quality of art: experimentation and forward movement. This character trait often plunged Serge Diaghilev and his troupe into the depths of financial catastrophe, to the point where he became unable to pay for his hotel room. However, he found it impossible to betray his principles, and it is thanks to the Saisons Russes that the world discovered Nicholas Roerich, Natalia Goncharova, Claude Debussy, Sergei Prokofiev, Vaslav Nijinsky, and George Balanchine.     <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"rec16764214\" class=\"r\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"170\">\n<div

He was a great lover of ancient art, and his first steps were linked to the revival of 18th-century Russian painters, while the &#8220;Parisian&#8221; stage was marked by the return of the great ballet <em>Giselle<\/em> to its native land and the first French presentation of Marius Petipa&#8217;s <em>The Sleeping Beauty<\/em>. But he was also drawn to the depth of distant and unknown spaces. He was the first to present Europe with a panorama of Russian art that became a &#8220;nutritive&#8221; environment for the 20th-century Western world. Serge Diaghilev passed away in 1929 at the age of 57 in Venice, a city he particularly loved.
