The Shepherd
1916 · pochoir on paper
Dimensions 75.5 × 48 cm
Collection: Art Whisperer
Costume design for the Shepherd in the never realized Russian ballet known as "Liturgie". The ballet was to follow an usual religious theme based on the passion with choreography designed around the artistic direction of the costume and stage designs. While the ballet was never performed, Goncharova did publish a folio of some of the costume designs featuring limited edition pochoir prints. The Liturgie prints show Goncharova's love for eastern iconography even though she was a leading member of the Russian Avant-Garde.
