Text The Art of Nijinsky at Wikisource

The Art of Nijinsky is a 1913 book written by Geoffrey Whitworth which analyzes the art of Vaslav Nijinsky.[2] At 110 pages,[2] it features 10 colored illustrations by Dorothy Mullock,[3]

The watercolor illustrations by Mullock,[4] have been called "remarkable."[5] The text, itself called "enthusiastic,"[6] examines the career of Nijinsky in both the art-form and choreography,[7] as well as appreciating Nijinsky's achievements.[8] It also touches on the history of Russian ballet and related literature.[7] In 1914, The Art of Nijinsky sold for $1.10,[9] and it is considered to be the "first book to appear in appreciation of his art."[10] However, Edward Gordon Craig felt that the book was unnecessary, stating that "the art of Nijinsky is no art."[11]
