Ming Cho Lee is considered to be the most influential stage
designer in the United States in the past forty years, and one of
the most respected designers in the world. His work with theater,
opera, and dance companies in the 1960s, particularly the New York
Shakespeare Festival, the New York City Opera, and the Joffrey
Ballet, transformed the very nature of the design in America and
introduced a scenic vocabulary and spatial aesthetic that underlies
scenographic styles to the present day.
Lavishly illustrated with over five hundred images in both color
and black and white, this book chronicles Lee's career from his
early training as a water-colorist in China, his designs for over
three hundred productions, and his esteemed forty-year career at
the Yale School of Drama as a mentor to an entire generations of
scenic designers. A recipient of the National Medal of Arts, the
highest national award given in the arts awarded by the President
of the United States, Lee's work has been showcased at the New York
Public Library for the Performing Arts, and in early 2014, the Yale
School of Architecture hosted a major retrospective of his work.
His other awards include a Tony Award, Outer Circle Critics' Award,
and three Drama Desk Awards.
Arnold Aronson has taught at Columbia University since 1991 and
has previously worked in the theater departments at Hunter College,
The University of Michigan, Cornell University, and The University
of Virginia. He served as the editor of "Theatre Design &
Technology" from 1978 to 1988 and is the author of "American Set
Design." In 2007, he served as the first non-Czech General
Commissioner of the Prague Quadrennial of Stage Design and Theatre
Architecture.
