On May 26, 1928, the “First Evening of the Art of Light and Colour” by Grigory Gidoni, dedicated to the memory of Domenico El Greco and Alexander Scriabin, took place in the Great Conference Hall of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The demonstration programme was preceded by a report from the artist on the “New Art of Light and Colour.” Then, together with the performers involved in the concert, Gidoni showed the results of his many years of work in the field of synthesis of light/colour with music, choreography and recitation. The performer in the light recitation department was the artist’s friend, V. Piast, for whom Gidoni completed several portraits; In the light choreography department, T. Troyanovskaya performed together with M. Mikhailov, to whom the artist dedicated one of his bookplates.
