Viktor Simov is the first English-language biography of Konstantin
Stanislavsky's principal scenic designer at the Moscow Art Theatre
from the company's formation in 1898. His ground-breaking work
included the designs for the premieres of Anton Chekhov's major
stage plays, and his approach to theatre design still influences
contemporary scenography. Translated from the original Russian text
written by author, editor, and literary critic Yuri Ivanovich
Nekhoroshev, the book provides a revealing insight into the staging
and technical practices of one of the world's most influential
theatre companies. Supported by 60 illustrations representing the
full range of Simov's designs, this volume provides a historical
account of Simov's career and a vivid description and critical
assessment of his work. The book traces the artist's development
from his early years as a painter to his later experiments in early
silent film design, including his work for the classic Russian
science fiction film Aelita, Queen of Mars (1924). Written for
theatre scholars and students of Scenic Design and Drama courses,
Viktor Simov: Stanislavsky's designer re-establishes Simov as one
of the most influential theatre designers of the 20th century.
