Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A landmark examination of the art and artists inspired by American
dance from 1830 to 1960 As an enduring wellspring of creativity for
many artists throughout history, dance has provided a visual
language to express such themes as the bonds of community, the
allure of the exotic, and the pleasures of the body. This book is
the first major investigation of the visual arts related to
American dance, offering an unprecedented, interdisciplinary
overview of dance-inspired works from 1830 to 1960. Fourteen essays
by renowned historians of art and dance analyze the ways dance
influenced many of America's most prominent artists, including
George Caleb Bingham, William Sidney Mount, Winslow Homer, John
Singer Sargent, Cecilia Beaux, Isamu Noguchi, Aaron Douglas,
Malvina Hoffman, Edward Steichen, Arthur Davies, William Johnson,
and Joseph Cornell. The artists did not merely represent dance,
they were inspired to think about how Americans move, present
themselves to one another, and experience time. Their artwork, in
turn, affords insights into the cultural, social, and political
moments in which it was created. For some artists, dance informed
even the way they applied paint to canvas, carved a sculpture, or
framed a photograph. Richly illustrated, the book includes
depictions of Irish-American jigs, African-American cakewalkers,
and Spanish-American fandangos, among others, and demonstrates how
dance offers a means for communicating through an aesthetic, static
form. Distributed for the Detroit Institute of Arts Exhibition
