Another interesting story of an important woman in the early 20th century - and I am sure Isidora Duncan was very influential for dance, but this one did not get me as involved as previous graphic autobigraphies I have read. ( ) Another of those lame sort of graphic biographies that assume a lot of knowledge about the subject, up to and including how she died. It dully skims through Duncan's adult life, spending most of its time on her love affairs and the Greek mythology that inspired her style of dance. She seems to be an empty-headed bohemian artist for most of the book, taking a stand for communism later in life. The history seems sloppy or even wrong in places. For instance, the concluding chapter moves her death up two years and misnames the driver of the vehicle, though it just might be a bad attempt at artistic foreshadowing. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"A graphic biography of the pioneering, free-spirited Mother of Modern Dance. In 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of London's elite, Isadora Duncan (1877-1927) was already laying the foundations for modern dance. Her performances were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she danced barefoot. The 22-year-old from California was shattering the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so, enchanting high society. In Isadora, Julie Birmant and Clement Oubrerie capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the so-called Mother of Modern Dance from her arrival in Europe to her tragic death in 1927. This extraordinary graphic novel spans Duncan's meetings with Auguste Rodin and Loie Fuller, her dazzling on-stage career, and the development of a style of dance--inspired by natural forms and Greek sculpture--that would become her enduring legacy."--Provided by publisher.
