[Ballets Russes] Nijinsky, Waslaw. (1889-1950) [Struss, Karl. (1886 - 1981). Original Photograph in " Till Eulenspiegel". Rare original 1916 silver gelatin photograph by Karl Struss of Nijinsky in Till Eulenspiegel. With credit stamp and copyright annotation in ink on the verso. 5 x 4 in. (12.7 x 10.2cm.)
Till Eulenspiegel was created for the American tour of the Ballets Russes in 1916. One of the four known works choreographed by Nijinsky, it was a collaboration with the young American designer/architect Robert Edmond Jones, set to a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss. Till is a middle European folk hero who disrupts his town until he is condemned to death, and, like Petrouchka, defies it. Nijinsky and Jones created a distorted medieval world of grotesque beggars and aristocratic women dwarfed by their costumes.
American photographer Karl Struss was also known as a cinematographer and was one of the earliest pioneers of 3-D films ("stereo cinematography"). In 1919, he moved from New York to Los Angeles and signed on with Cecil B. DeMille as a cameraman and subsequently worked on many films.
