The sexual iconography of the Ballets Russes

Article Abstract:

Paintings, postcards, and photographs of the male dancers in the Ballet Russes emphasized their homosexual, erotic appeal. Dancers such as Serge Lifar, Vaslav Nijinsky, Leonide Massine, Anton Dolin, and Serge Diaghilev were often presented as representing a homoerotic nirvana where male beauty could be experienced as high art.
