[Wendy]

There are other biographies (and Isadora's own autobiography) that will probably do a better job contextualizing her life and her dramatic contribution to Dance, to Art! This book functions more as a scrapbook of her life -- and the photos and images are really wonderful (if often mismatched to the text). I just love Isadora Duncan, and this book did nothing to decrease that intensity of feeling.

[Aimée Verret]

Beau recueil de photos et d'esquisses retraçant l'art d'Isadora. Le texte s'en tient aux grandes lignes de son existence et de sa philosophie.
