With credit stamp and copyright annotation in ink on the verso. 5 x 4 in. (12.7 x 10.2cm.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTill Eulenspiegel was created for the American tour of the Ballets Russes in 1916.  One of the four known works choreographed by Nijinsky, it was a collaboration with the young American designer\/architect Robert Edmond Jones, set to a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss. Till is a middle European folk hero who disrupts his town until he is condemned to death, and, like Petrouchka, defies it. Nijinsky and Jones created a distorted medieval world of grotesque beggars and aristocratic women dwarfed by their costumes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican photographer Karl Struss was also known as a cinematographer and was one of the earliest pioneers of 3-D films (\"stereo cinematography\"). In 1919, he moved from New York to Los Angeles and signed on with Cecil B. DeMille as a cameraman and subsequently worked on many films.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093279428767,"sku":"6052","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Nijinsky_struss_till_1740.jpg?v=1722187022","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/6052-ballets-russes-nijinsky-waslaw-struss-karl-original-photograph-in-till-eulenspiegel","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
