A major biographyтАФthe first in three decadesтАФof one of the most important artistic forces of the twentieth century, the legendary American dancer and choreographer who upended dance, propelling the art form into the modern age, and whose profound and pioneering influence is still being felt today.
"Brings together all the elements of GrahamтАЩs colorful life...with wit, verve, critical discernment, and a powerful lyricism.тАЭтАФMary Dearborn, acclaimed author of Ernest Hemingway
Time magazine called her тАЬthe Dancer of the Century.тАЭ Her technique, used by dance companies throughout the world, became the first long-lasting alternative to the idiom of classical ballet. Her pioneering movementsтАФpowerful, dynamic, jagged, edgy, forthrightтАФcombined with her distinctive system of training, were the epitome of American modernism, performance as art. Her work continued to astonish and inspire for more than sixty years as she choreographed more than 180 works.
At the heart of GrahamтАЩs work: movement that could express inner feeling.
Neil Baldwin, author of admired biographies of Man Ray (тАЬTruly definitive . . . absolutely fascinatingтАЭ тАФPatricia Bosworth) and Thomas Edison (тАЬAbsorbing, gripping, a major contribution to our understanding of a remarkable man and a remarkable eraтАЭ тАФRobert Caro), gives us the artist and performer, the dance monument who led a cult of dance worshippers as well as the woman herself in all of her complexity.
Here is Graham, from her nineteenth-century (born in 1894) Allegheny, Pennsylvania, childhood, to becoming the star of the Denishawn exotic ballets, and in 1926, at age thirty-two, founding her own company (now the longest-running dance company in America).
Baldwin writes of how the company flourished during the artistic explosion of New York CityтАЩs midcentury cultural scene; of Erick Hawkins, in 1936, fresh from BalanchineтАЩs School of American Ballet, a handsome Midwesterner fourteen years her junior, becoming GrahamтАЩs muse, lover, and eventual spouse. Graham, inspiring the next generation of dancers, choreographers, and teachers, among them: Merce Cunningham and Paul Taylor.
Baldwin tells the story of this large, fiercely lived life, a life beset by conflict, competition, and lonelinessтАФfilled with fire and inspiration, drive, passion, dedication, and sacrifice in work and in dance creation.
