During a period of twenty years, 1909- 1929, Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes held audiences spellbound on two continents, in Europe and South America, and placed ballet as an art form in focus. The visual artists who worked for the ballet captured an abundance of color in set design and in costume. Here in this catalogue are the costumes from this great era in ballet. These beautiful, vividly colored costumes speak volumes for the feel and life of the ballet.

On October 16, 1790, Stockholmers were offered for sale a poetic work which has since then turned out to be one of the Swedish books which have a rightful place as essential to any spaceship’s terrestrial library. Viewed superficially, Fredmans Epistlar by Bellman is a collection of songs about drunkenness, fivolity and loose-living. Yet, strangely enough, it affects us deeply; perhaps even has some kind of lasting valid message. By the time the book came out Bellman had been working on his Fredman’s Epistles for twenty years. In it the drunken watchmaker Jean Fredman heads a whole gallery of contemporary Stockholmers, most of whom have been identified by research. But it is as figures of fantasy they come to life, then as now. Originally planned as a parody of the Pauline epistle, Fredman’s epistles are thought of as being sent out to the town’s taverns and their clients.

From early classics like The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries to his final masterpiece, Fanny and Alexander, Ingmar Bergman made films that changed the way the world looked at motion pictures. Now retired as a filmmaker but still active as a writer and theater director, Bergman remains a major force in literature and the performing arts. This book brings together for the first time the best of what Bergman himself and many other great figures of world cinema, theater, and letters have written and said on the subject of Ingmar Bergman.
