Alexander Sakharoff ((ロシア語:Александр Сахаров), also spelled Sakharov and Sacharoff, 13 May 1886 – 25 September 1963) was a dancer, teacher, and choreographer. ==Life== Sakharoff was born Alexander Zuckermann in Mariupol, Russian Empire on 13 May 1886. Alexander was one of the most innovative soloist dancers of the first decades of the 20th century. He trained as a painter at the Academie de Beaux Arts and the Académie Julian in Paris. His androgynous appearance led to him by painters including Jawlensky and Marianne Werefkin in 1909. He married the German dancer Clotilde von der Planitz (1893–1974), and they had a successful career together. Their 1921 portrait by George Barbier to advertise their work was seen as showing an "mutually complementary androgynous couple" "united in dance" joined together in an act of "artistic creation."〔 Their outrageous costumes included wigs made from silver and gold coloured metal, with hats and outfits decorated with flowers and wax fruit.〔 They married in 1919 and. with the financial support of Edith Rockefeller, appeared at the Metropolitan Opera in New York but without any great success. They were living in Paris between the wars〔 and in 1933 Émile Vuillermoz recognised their fame when he published his work ''Clotilde et Alexandre Sakharoff''. The work included photographs and colour illustrations of their choreography.〔(Clotilde et Alexandre Sakharoff ), Émile Vuillermoz, retrieved 19 February 2014〕 Using the name "The Sakharoffs" they toured widely visiting China and Japan which was so successful that they returned again in 1934. They and their extravagant costumes visited both North and South America. They found themselves in Spain when France was invaded by Germany. They returned to South America making a new base in Buenos Aires until 1949. They toured Italy the following year and they took up an invitation to teach in Rome by Guido Chigi Saracini. They taught at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena for Saracini and they also opened their own dance school in Rome.〔 In his book ''Reflections on Dance and Music'', he explained his artistic credo: 〔Reflections on Dance and Music, Alexander Sakharoff〕 He died in Siena, Italy 25 September 1963. He is buried in Cimitero Acattolico in Rome. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Sakharoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
