		Bakst traveled regularly to various countries into Europe and North Africa and studied in Paris with a number of notable artists including the French Orientalist painter Jean-Leon Gerome at the Academie Julian and, from 1893 to 1896, the Finish landscape painter Albert Adelfelt.

		Bakst did not experiment with Cubism, abstraction or any other innovations of the early 20th century, yet he modernized stage design and had many imitators.
