Isadora

English

By (author): Clement Oubrerie Julie Birmant

There was never a place for [Isadora Duncan] in the ranks of the terrible, slow army of the cautious. She ran ahead, where there were no paths. Dorothy Parker

In 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of Londons elite, Isadora Duncan was already laying the foundations for modern dance. The 22-year-olds movements were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she performed barefoot. She shattered the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so, enchanted high society. A year later, in Paris, she met the sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose work proved a revelation, and the influential dancer Loie Fuller, whose support marked the beginning of a dazzling on-stage career.

In Isadora, Julie Birmant and Clément Oubrerie capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the so-called Mother of Modern Dance. This extraordinary graphic novel takes in her arrival in Europe, her rise to stardom and the development of a style of dance inspired by natural forms and Greek sculpture that would become her enduring legacy.
