Four Saints in Three Acts by Gertrude Stein and Virgil Thomson was
a major avant-garde phenomenon of the 1930s, an experimental opera
that nonetheless achieved remarkable popular success. Photography
was a key element of that success, but its complex roles in the
construction, representation and dissemination of the opera have
hitherto received little critical attention. The photographic
recording of the all-African American cast in particular affords a
unique insight into the complexities of Four Saints in relation to
the Harlem Renaissance and the New York avant-gardes of the time.
This book, published in collaboration with The Photographers'
Gallery, London, presents a wide selection of photographs of the
cast, performances, and other material - many images reproduced for
the first time - alongside essays by an international range of
scholars exploring different aspects of the opera, including dance,
fashion, music, and avant-garde writing, as well as photography. --
