Leon bakst worked in more theatrical productions than any other artist, so his name became permanently associated with the ballets russes. Ballet drawings caused a sensation on the stage. Leon bakst was particularly influenced by exotic and oriental fantasies. The sensual use of color gave birth to new fashion and interior design, and fashionable women dressed in oriental-inspired clothes were soon seen sitting on huge cushions on the floor in curtained rooms. In addition, his creations for greek ballets were stimulated by the use of warm tones and geometric patterns. He also created beautiful dresses, such as his victorian creations or the creations of different productions. Leon bakst's creations were born from the style and choreography of a particular ballet.
