Author Ann Cooper Albright weaves literary theory, art criticism, and dance history into a fluid narrative to explore how Abraham Walkowitz's drawings realize Isadora Duncan's dancing on paper. Modern Gestures reproduces over fifty watercolors of this unique oeuvre, many of which have never before been published.

By Ann Cooper Albright, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Dance at Oberlin College.
