Ironically, France would regain its former ballet glory through the opposite trajectory, this time via Russia with the help of the Ballets Russes.1 Diaghilev was neither a dancer, nor a choreographer, nor a composer, nor did he aspire to become the great impresario of a Russian ballet company that would take the Parisian audiences by storm and that would have a tremendous impact on twentieth-century ballet history.

Siegel discusses a new wave of Ballet Russes mania that swept over the dance world in recognition of the artistic dynasty that was launched in Paris a hundred years ago. At its inception, the Ballet Russes signified more than an ambitious troop of emigres offering their art for the first time in Western Europe to its audience representing sophisticated entertainment, sensual appeal with an enclave of artists and intellectuals in passionate pursuit of the new. They have included performances of existing repertory, academic conferences, publications, exhibitions and re-imagined productions of celebrated but submerged ballets.

If there is one element that unites the current trio of exhibitions at the Torrance Art Museum, it is their reliance on the impact of color. A rainbow of color dominates Eric Johnson's "The Maize Project" tower in the Main Gallery. Marco Casentini's "Have a Nice Day" features geometric color field paintings against a painted wall background in Gallery 2. And in the South Bay Focus hallway, Mary Pichette employs subtler hues for her large-scale pastels, "Building Into Shadows.

Alexandre Benois, a founding member of Diaghilev's circle of progressive aesthetes, was honored last winter with an exhibition at the Boston Public Library, a scholarly symposium, and a handsome catalogue by the exhibition's curator Anna Winestein. A dancer with Nijinsky's legs or Pavlova's stingy turnout would be unacceptable even though the technique and performing magnetism of these two stars made them prototypes of today's ballet dancer. The audience -not yet inured to the visual magic of the cinema-saw ravishing images of flames, butterflies, clouds, flowers, great soaring birds.

Looking to get away from it all, many Baltimoreans log lots of miles to see sites far from home. These travelers are lucky: There are lots of easily accessible destination getaways in the mid- Atlantic area. But maybe the swarms of out-of-towners who flood Baltimore each year - especially during the summer months - know something the locals don't. In other words, city residents may be missing out on some great cultural treasures right under their noses.
