Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. Harlequin, Columbine, Pierrot...commedia dell'arte is the first modern theater--inspiration to Shakespeare Moliere, Mozart, and Balanchine, and forerunner of the modern stage comedy. This unique book traces the history of commedia from the court of the Sun King to ballet and opera to the experimental performance theater of today. It also, for the first time, explores why visual artists from Tiepolo and Watteau to Picasso and Hockney have been drawn to its characters and themes. Since its invention as a popular entertainment in Renaissance Italy, commedia's absurd and witty plots and charming personalities have captivated audiences as well as painters and sculptors. Artists through the ages have found in commedia's distinctive costumes, masks, and poignant figures a wealth of inspiration. Lynne Lawner unearths rare plays, relates theatrical gossip, and shows why commedia's characters and their classic stories have come to life again and again, in myriad styles of theater and art. Book has minor shelf wear.
