My background alternates between different impressionist paintings, I find them soothing when I'm working.
This is what is currently up.
Really, I will have to check it out. I have seen "The Afternoon of a Faun". I have heard that there has really never been a successful choreography for the Rite of Spring, including Nijinsky's. Apparently, according to critics, the music is just too raw and chaotic.
