Costume design for the ballet "Firebird" by Igor Stravinsky 1931

This costume design, created in 1931 by the Russian artist Ivan Bilibin, is for a warrior in the ballet “Firebird” by Igor Stravinsky. Bilibin’s distinctive style, often described as a "neo-primitive" aesthetic, is evident in the stylized figure and bold use of color and pattern, which are characteristic of his illustrative work. The warrior’s costume is a striking combination of geometric shapes and traditional Russian folk motifs, a combination typical of Bilibin's illustrative work.
