Nielsen (Kay) Costume design for Hindu Dancer, Aladdin, pencil,
watercolour, heightened with gold, thick gold border, 205 x 103 mm (8
1/8 x 4 1/8 in), soft crease to lower right corner, minor spotting and
surface dirt, framed without glass, [circa 1917-1919]
Provenance:
From the collection of the late Colin White
Literature:
White, Colin, Kay Nielsen: A Biography, forthcoming, fig. 125, and discussed on pp. 147-151
"The story of Aladdin was an invitation to a designer to lose himself
in fantasy and dreams. 'Colouring and gold almost bordering on
debauchery' commented The Studio on seeing some of the original studies
for the costumes. Nielsen's method of costume design was very different
from that of Edmund Dulac.... Nielsen was less meticulous about his
preparatory work.... He knew instinctively what was important and what
could be omitted in a design" [Colin White, op. cit.]
