Abstract

Among the many Russian and East European artists that Paris wel- comed in the 1920s, there was a young Ukrainian painter by the name of Boris Bilinsky.' For three years he had lived in Berlin working for the Blaue Vogel and other cabarets before arriving in Paris in 1923, where he was soon receiving wide acclaim for his many artistic endeavors: posters, costume and set designs for the major movie producers of the time (Epstein, Tourjansky, Malikoff, Volkoff, Fescourt, Litvak et al.), and scenographies for the several Russian ballet troupes, including those of Bronislava Nijinska, Boris Romanov, and Prince Alexei Tseretelli (Zereteli). He worked for the Arc en Ciel Theater and in 1925 receieved a Gold Medal for his contribution to the "Exposition Internationale des Arts De- coratifs." Indeed, for cinema historians the name of Soris Konstantinovich Bilin- sky (born 1900 in Benderi, near Odessa; died 1948 in Catania. Sicily) is linked inextricably with the great movies of that era-Casanova, Metropo- lis, Le tion des Mogols, Scheherazade, Tarakanova, Monte Cristo, le Dia- bie Blanc, l'Equipage-in fact, with more than thirty films manufactured in France. Balletomanes also associate Bilinsky with the luxurious produc- tions of the Russian companies such
