Bakst. The author claims that both the posture and the mimic gesture of the model are references to the ancient image of the sphinx and the “archaic smile”. The version is confirmed not only through a direct analysis of the model's posture, but also by contextualizing the motives of the painting in the works of Leon Bakst and the artists of his time. As an additional argument, the interpretation is given in the tradition of Carl Jung’s analytical psychology. The image of an insidious woman, according to the author, is the content of Bakst’s own “anima”, a structural component of his psyche. This idea is based on the material of the artist's biography and on comparing the painting \"Dinner\" with the decorative panel “Terror antiquus”.","PeriodicalId":37537,"journal":{"name":"Academia (Greece)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70466018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The art of this era in the perception of descendants became from complete rejection in the eyes of posterity to a total recognition of its originality, artistic individuality, and as a result national-identity. The latter entailed the use of cultural assets of 18th century as prototypes of gold and silver products created in late 19th – early 20th century because of nationality.
