Benois, Alexandre
Benois, Alexandre (
b St Petersburg, 21 Apr. [3 May] 1870;
d Paris, 9 Feb. 1960). Russian painter, stage designer, art historian, and critic, a leader and spokesman of the
World of Art group. He was a close friend and collaborator of
Diaghilev, in Russia and later in Paris, and he is best known for his stage designs for the Ballets Russes (notably for Stravinsky's
Petrushka, 1911), in which he harmonized the tradition of Russian folk art with French
Rococo elements. Following a difference of opinion with Diaghilev he worked at Stanislavsky's Moscow Arts Theatre, 1912–14. After the Revolution he was appointed curator of paintings at the
Hermitage in Leningrad. He held this post from 1918 to 1925, then settled permanently in Paris. His writings include several volumes of memoirs and books on art, including ones translated into English as
The Russian School of Painting (1916),
Reminiscences of the Russian Ballet (1941), and
Memoirs (1960). Benois's son
Nikolai (1901–88) was a stage designer at La Scala, Milan; his niece
Nadia Benois (1896–1975) settled in London in 1920 and worked as a ballet designer. The actor and writer Peter Ustinov is her son.
