Breaking news?
John Dos Passos wrote a poem about her..."Art was everything Isadora did"
Vanessa Redgrave (I know, boo, hiss) was in a biographical film about her, called "Isadora", of course. Great movie; a personal favorite of mine.
A very silly, tragic woman. Dorothy Parker wrote of "the Glamour that was Isadora Duncan"; and Parker wasn't a writer who threw around the word "glamour" lightly.
A scarf to die for.
Maybe you should put the year (1927) this happened in the title?
"Her great popularity in France was increased by the entire nation's sympathy when in 1913 her two young children also perished in an automobile tragedy. The car in which they had been left seated started, driverless, down a hill and plunged over a bridge into the Seine River."
Interesting.......
A great dancer, a great artist. But she thought the new Soviet Union was the be-all and end-all of human endeavor. What we would call today a 'useful idiot'.
Portrayed in film by Vanessa Redgarve, how appropriate. A great actress who is a pleasure to watch. But a leftie moonbat nonetheless and great friend of murdering Pallies.
Yep,
Inventor of the "Dance of the Seven Veils". First artist to teach actually responding to the music in movement vs just dancing 'on top' of the music.
Seems simple, but that technique was radical at the time. Even now, I get miffed when I see dancers dancing with no clue of what's going on with the music (Like that absolutely horrid Trace Adkins video!!!)
I've been waiting for Dr. Who to get the same.
