Russian designer Léon Bakst turned bold colors and flowing lines into theater costumes and prints in the early 1900s. He’s best known for the vivid set and costume sketches he made for the Ballets Russes, but this app shows a 1923 print from H. Beard’s collection. Tap that print to zoom in on Bakst’s flat, saturated shapes and see how he carried stage drama straight onto the page.
