Book synopsis

Her skill in capturing movement, form and colour excels in her drawings and paintings of such legendary dancers as Karsavina in 'Firebird'and 'The Three-cornered Hat', inspired by the appearances of Diaghliev's Ballets Russes in London from 1919 to 1929 when she also painted and drew Pavlova, Spessivia and Tchenicheva. Knight's images of rehearsal studios, dressing rooms, the wings of the stage and curtain calls underline her privileged position as an artist who sees more than the audience usually sees: both the tensions before and the relaxed after-performance scenes.
