Description and Table of Contents

Description

Isadora Duncan was the mother of modern dance and a pioneering feminist. This book reveals the woman in over 250 photographs and works of art - Raymond Duncan's photographs of his sister rehearsing in their Paris studio, Auguste Rodin's sketches of the young dancer, a constructivist portrait of Isadora by Anenkov during her final years in Russia - many of which are from the Duncan family's private collections. The illustrations and text offer a portrait of this great modernist in the context of her 20th-century artistic community.
