More about the book

The book highlights the artistic synergy between painter Abraham Walkowitz and dancer Isadora Duncan, both influential figures of early twentieth-century modernism. Their meeting in Paris in 1906 sparked a lifelong collaboration, with Walkowitz capturing Duncan's expressive dance in thousands of drawings. The illustrations, characterized by their improvisational energy, reflect Duncan's dynamic presence. Ann Cooper Albright's introductory essay integrates literary theory and art criticism, while the collection features over fifty previously unpublished watercolors, making it a delightful resource for art and dance enthusiasts.
