Leon Bakst为芭蕾舞剧制作了奢华的套装和服装。中学毕业后，他前往圣彼得堡，在圣彼得堡艺术学院学习，作为一名未注册的学生，作为一名图书插画工作，以养活自己。为了帮助支付账单，他还教艺术给弗拉迪米尔公爵的孩子们。在1889年的第一次展览上，他把自己的姓罗森博格改成了他母亲娘家姓巴克斯特的简称：巴克斯特。他担心罗森博格听起来太犹太化，对商业有害。1890年代，他开始与水彩画家协会合作，继续在朱利安学院学习，与杰出的艺术家建立了重要联系。在1890年底，他与Sergei Diaghilev、米尔·伊斯库斯塔、“艺术世界”运动一起成立。他为他们的出版物画了很多图形，使他受到赞扬和欢迎。直到本世纪末，他继续油漆和收取佣金，从高达Tsar Nichols II自己。到1909年，他主要创作舞台和服装设计，最初是为希腊悲剧，然后是迪亚吉列夫的芭蕾舞团拉斯，一个著名的芭蕾舞团。由于他的犹太宗教信仰，他被驱逐出圣彼得堡，并被禁止居住在定居点以外的任何地方，因此主要居住在西欧。他的设计，连同Alexandre Benois，被认为是革命性的舞台设计。巴克斯特于1924年死于肺部疾病，他于1918年与俄国芭蕾舞团和迪亚吉列夫断绝了关系，尽管他还在继续画画。

Leon Bakst produced lavish sets and costumes for the ballet stage. After graduating secondary school, he traveled to St. Petersburg to study at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts as an unenrolled student, working as a book illustrator to support himself. In order to help pay the bills, he also taught art to the children of Grand Duke Vladimir. At his first exhibition, in 1889, he changed his surname, Rosenberg, which he was concerned would sound too Jewish and bad for business, to a shorter version of his mother’s maiden name Baxter: Bakst.
He began exhibiting in the 1890’s with the Society of Watercolorists, as he continued his studies at the Academie Julian, making important connections with prominent artists. In the late 1890’s he founded, along with Sergei Diaghilev, the Mir Iskusstva, or “World of Art,” movement. He illustrated many graphics for their publication, drawing him praise and popularity. Until the end of the century, he continued to paint and receive commissions, from as high up as Tsar Nichols II himself.
By 1909, he was mainly producing stage and costume designs, at first for Greek tragedies and then with Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes, a prominent ballerina group. Due to his Jewish religion, he was exiled from living in St. Petersburg, and was prohibited from living anywhere outside the pale of settlement, and so mainly resided in Western Europe. His set designs, along with those of Alexandre Benois, are recognized as revolutionizing stage design.
Bakst died in 1924 of lung problems, having broken with the Ballet Russes and Diaghilev in 1918, although he continued to paint.
