Summary of Isadora Duncan: A Graphic Biography

Myth and controversy still swirl around the dramatic figure of Isadora Duncan. The pioneering modern dancer emerged from provincial nineteenth-century America to captivate the cultural capitals of Europe, reinvent dance as a fine art, and leave a trail of scandals in her wake. From her unconventional California girlhood to her tragic death on the French Riviera fifty years later, Duncan?s journey was an uncompromising quest for truth, beauty, and freedom.
 
Here Duncan?s art and ideas come vividly to life. Each page is a unique dance of words and images, reflecting Duncan?s courage, passion, and idealism in a way sure to inspire another generation of admirers.
