Description

Unrivaled in his influence on twentieth-century dance, the Russian-born choreographer George Balanchine created modern ballet as we know it. No writer has captured his signifcance more brilliantly, more daringly, than Arlene Grace, a dance critic "without peer" ("The New York Review of Books). In "Ballet and Balanchine, Croce follows the choreographer from Petrograd, through his years in Paris, up to his first great ballet, "Apollo (1928), and into the major works of his maturity. She makes the case that there is more to Balanchine's art than musical vision and an aesthetic of formalism--that the so-called abstract ballets are alive with poetic, philosophical, and often autobiographical meaning. Croce restores not only Balanchine's work but ballet history in general, and throws new light on familiar figures, from Degas to Diaghilev. Rarely is such a formidable body of artistic achievement met by a writer who can illuminate and bring to life the lasting impact of its singular genius. Croce once again shows that "one of [her] specialties [is] setting the standard" ("The New Republic).
