| 8. “This is one of the illustrations I provided for ‘Daphnis et Chloe’ a ballet performed by the Paris Opera House. I was commissioned to create the drawing by my good friend Teriade, who was not only a great supporter but also a very important publisher. He believed I was uniquely talented at depicting this tale, which was about young love triumphing over adversity. The ballet was a success and through it I was commissioned by another man, Andre Malraux, to paint the ceiling of the opera house. I did a lot for the Paris Opera House and I enjoyed working there. Creating for theatre was a fun experience. |
