Isadora Duncan: A Graphic Biography | Sabrina Jones
4 posts | 4 read | 16 to read
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.

I loved the drawings, with their beautiful lines, in this graphic biography. I didn‘t know anything about her before reading this, but the cover caught my eye. She advocated barefoot, natural dancing and was inspired by the ancient Greeks. Fascinating woman who lived life to the fullest. #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

This is a biography I read recently that I really loved. I didn't know anything about Isadora Duncan beforehand - I grabbed the book from the library cause I liked the cover - so I learned about her for the first time through this book. She seems to me the epitome of the free spirit expressing herself through the art of dancing throughout her life. Fascinating person and story. #funfridayphoto

ValerieAndBooks Looks really good. My daughter is a dance pedagogy major so this looks like something we'd both enjoy. 8y
