Ballet Petrouchka (Grimaud)

Unread post by Räpylätassu »

Ballet Petrouchka is based on Ivan Stravinsky's famous ballet. The designs are based on an opera performance from Paris Opera in 1948. The cards are done in Black Palekh style. This is a deck which my scans don't do justice. Printed in 1988.

I dream of a world where wars are fought only by having dance offs. I also dream that a Finnish playing card designer would exist. The former seems more likely to happend.
