Ballet poster question

[madripoor_rose]

This one's really nitpicky, but it can't hurt to ask, right? For an X Men fanfic, I'm trying to identify a poster in Kitty Pryde's bedroom in the first issue of the new Wolverine: First Class comic book. It's set around 1983, but randomly updated to modern. The poster is slightly obscured by Kitty's head in the comic. On a celadon green

Could it be this one? If so then it's by Degas, who painted a LOT of ballet scenes. I'm afraid I'm not so certain of its title though. Although now my interest is piqued I'm heading off to have a search for it. :D

Nope, that's not it, but thanks. I think I've figured out how to link to a scan of the page, and I'm editing the entry to add it now.

OSCOU sounds like it might be the end of Moscou (moscow), which is a likely place for ballet to be happening.

I was going to say that -- specifically that "Moscou" is "Moscow" in French, and both Russia and France are known for ballet.

I agree as well.

Ooh, that's a good idea, I didn't think to try searching Moscow ballet poster. And that would work perfectly, so I might fanon that if I can't find the poster itself.

The word at the bottom could Moscou

[madripoor_rose]

Moscou would work perfectly, if it turns out to not be a real poster, I might use that anyway.

Another vore for 'Moscou'. There's certainly a Russian State Ballet based in Moscow, which I've seen advertised as such, as there's always the Bolshoi.

It looks like it could possibly be this one: http://majorlycool.com/item/vintage-1950s-moscow-ballet-poster
