"Rolf de Maré. Art collector. Ballet director. Museum creator." Final art was made in English, Swedish and French and with more than 1000 pictures this was a three year close collaboration with author and Museum Director at Dansmuseet in Stockholm Erik Näslund, editor Johan Rosell and graphic designers Emilie Ekström and Marianne Heed-Miskar.

"Näslund's epic biography is itself a work of art. I've reviewed many books destined for the coffee table, but never one that could almost be a coffee table, itself! The heavyweight paper (150gm) makes it a joy to turn the page, doubly enhanced by the exciting prospect of photographs and other illustrations liberally spread throughout the text. There must be in excess of 1200 illustrations in total. The colour separation is glorious and some of the poster images for the Ballets Suédois are gorgeously reproduced. In addition to the images on every page there is also a 70-page photo album appendix (on 170g Gallerie Art Gloss) that captures every facet of de Maré's fascinating life. The book's sumptuous design also includes "scrapbook" pages regularly interspersed throughout the text, on differently-coloured paper. These two page insertions explain in detail – and in chronological order – particular tributaries of de Maré's life and times, providing commentary on individual ballets and relevant places and events."

"...a beautifully-designed and always enjoyable biography of a man whose life was lived so close to world events of the early to mid-twentieth century that one could be forgiven for thinking that the whole transcript is a spoof..."

"This monumental undertaking is a great credit to all who have collaborated in bringing de Maré's life into such a vivid focus, and always so evocative of his times." Graham Watts, Ballet Magazine, June 2010
