The Art of Nijinsky is a 1913 book written by Geoffrey Whitworth which analyzes the art of Vaslav Nijinsky. [1] At 110 pages, [1] it features 10 colored illustrations by Dorothy Mullock, [2]
The watercolor illustrations by Mullock, [3] have been called "remarkable." [4] The text, itself called "enthusiastic," [5] examines the career of Nijinsky in both the art-form and choreography, [6] as well as appreciating Nijinsky's achievements. [7] It also touches on the history of Russian ballet and related literature. [6] In 1914, The Art of Nijinsky sold for $1.10, [8] and it is considered to be the "first book to appear in appreciation of his art." [9] However, Edward Gordon Craig felt that the book was unnecessary, stating that "the art of Nijinsky is no art." [10]
