Book Reviews of Isadora Duncan: A Graphic Biography
Book Review: An almost eerie experience!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's what's amazing (and a little eerie): I read this graphic novel and then actually had the opportunity to watch a performance of Isadora Duncan's dances. What I couldn't believe was that I already KNEW the steps -- what they'd look like and feel like -- thanks to THIS BOOK. I knew what the spins would be like, and how the costumes would flow -- everything. I hadn't realized how incredibly accurate this novel's drawings were, or even that graphic novels could BE that accurate. What a great experience. And on top of it, I really enjoyed the book.
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.
