Description
George Balanchine: A Visionary Artist The life and achievements of George Balanchine, one of the most influential choreographers in ballet history, are told in this biography. From his early career in Russia to his groundbreaking work in America, Balanchine transformed movement and dance, extending the art form into radical new paths. Balanchine's collaborations with artists such as Igor Stravinsky were pivotal in shaping his style, while his personal life was marked by multiple marriages to ballerinas. Despite this, he remained devoted to his craft, finding inspiration in ancient Greek mythology. This book offers a loving and authoritative portrait of Balanchine, written by dance critic Robert Gottlieb.
