With 35 compositions in various pastel shades, full-page or double-page by L. Pageot-Rousseaux.

A tribute to Serge Lifar and dance. 'For this triple synthesis of the life of the renowned artist: the set, the gesture, the drama, the most illustrious French personalities collaborated.'

Well-preserved copy: some marks on the covers, pierced corners. Slight play in the hinge, interior fresh and clean.

Serge Lifar (in Ukrainian Sergueï Mikhaïlovitch Lifar) is a Ukrainian-born dancer, choreographer, and educator who became a French citizen. He was born in Kiev on April 2, 1905, and died in Lausanne on December 15, 1986. A reformer of movement and dance technique, to which he added two foot positions, Serge Lifar was one of the creators who established the neo-classical style, a term he used notably to describe his ballet Suite en blanc from 1943.
