"Costume Design for Nijinsky (1889-1950) for His Role as the 'Blue God', 1911" is a significant work by the Russian artist and stage designer Léon Samoilovitch Bakst. This costume was created for the legendary ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, who was one of the most celebrated performers of his time and a leading figure in the world of ballet. The costume was designed for the ballet "Le Dieu Bleu" (The Blue God), which premiered on May 13, 1912, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

Bakst was a member of the creative team of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a company that revolutionized ballet in the early 20th century with its innovative choreography, music, and visual design. Bakst's contribution to the Ballets Russes was particularly noted for his exotic and vibrant costume and set designs, which played a crucial role in the overall aesthetic and success of the productions.

The 'Blue God' costume is emblematic of Bakst's style, characterized by its rich colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious materials, which reflected the orientalist trends of the time and contributed to the visual spectacle of the ballet. The design for Nijinsky's role incorporated elements inspired by Hindu mythology and iconography, aligning with the ballet's narrative that drew from Eastern themes and stories.

Nijinsky's portrayal of the Blue God, adorned in Bakst's costume, was part of a performance that sought to transport audiences to a fantastical realm, blending the artistry of dance with the opulence of visual design. Although "Le Dieu Bleu" was not as successful as some of the other Ballets Russes productions, the collaboration between Nijinsky and Bakst remains a notable moment in the history of ballet and costume design.

The costume design for the 'Blue God' is not only a testament to Bakst's talent and vision but also serves as a historical artifact that reflects the cultural and artistic exchanges between the East and West during the early 20th century. It remains an important subject of study for those interested in the history of performance, fashion, and design.
