"Costume Studies by Leon Samoilovitch Bakst" is a collection of works by the Russian artist and costume designer Léon Bakst (1866–1924), whose real name was Lev Samoilovich Rosenberg. Bakst was a member of the Sergei Diaghilev circle and the innovative Ballets Russes, where he gained international fame for his extravagant costumes and set designs that revolutionized the aesthetics of ballet and theatre at the beginning of the 20th century.

The "Costume Studies" refers to the numerous sketches, drawings, and watercolors that Bakst created as preliminary designs for the elaborate costumes of actors and dancers. These studies are characterized by their vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and historical and exotic influences that reflect Bakst's interest in orientalism and his desire to synthesize traditional and contemporary elements.

Bakst's costume studies were not only functional designs meant to be translated into fabric but also standalone works of art that captured the spirit of the performances and the characters they were intended for. His innovative use of color and line in these studies helped to convey the movement and emotion of the dance, and they played a crucial role in the visual identity of the Ballets Russes productions.

The influence of Bakst's costume designs extended beyond the stage, contributing to broader trends in fashion and interior design. His work was instrumental in popularizing Art Deco and the aesthetic of the 1920s, and it continues to be studied and celebrated for its artistic significance and contribution to the world of costume and fashion design.

Today, Bakst's costume studies are held in various art collections and museums around the world, and they continue to be a subject of academic research and exhibitions. They not only provide insight into Bakst's creative process but also serve as a testament to the rich cultural exchange and innovation of the early 20th century avant-garde art movements.
