EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design for the iconic theatre production of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, created by the renowned Russian artist Alexandra Alexandrovna Exter in 1921, is a stunning example of the Cubo-Futurist movement in the arts. Housed in the esteemed collection of the State Museum of Theater, Music and Cinema of Ukraine, this masterpiece showcases Exter's innovative use of gouache on paper in the realm of scenic and costume design. Exter's design for Juliet's costume is a breathtaking fusion of modernity and tradition. The ethereal, flowing white gown, adorned with intricate geometric patterns, is a testament to the artist's commitment to the Cubo-Futurist aesthetic. The bold, angular lines and geometric shapes, characteristic of the movement, are skillfully integrated into the design, creating a visually striking and dynamic piece. Meanwhile, Romeo's costume, though not depicted in this image, was likely to have been equally innovative, reflecting Exter's forward-thinking approach to theatrical design. The production of Romeo and Juliet, for which this design was created, marked a significant moment in the history of Russian theatre, as it was one of the first productions to embrace the avant-garde movement and break away from traditional theatrical conventions. Exter's work, with its bold use of color, form, and texture, continues to inspire artists and designers to this day. This exquisite costume design, a product of the rich cultural heritage of Russia and the groundbreaking work of a visionary artist, stands as a testament to the transformative power of art and the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's timeless tale of love and tragedy.
