His exchanges with Lo?e Fuller, Vaslav Nijinsky, and members of the Cambodian Royal Ballet troupe were central to Rodin's development of a modern sculptural aesthetic and the construction of his artistic celebrity. But this was not a simple case of one-way influence. These performers actively courted an affiliation with Rodin, wielding sculpture's cultural authority to move dance from the realm of commercial entertainment to that of \"high art.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bringing together art history and performance studies, \u003ci\u003eRodin's Dancers \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that in their search for innovation, dancers and sculptors experimented with one another's means of expression, sites of display, and techniques of publicity. The book provides more than a new interpretation of Rodin's art: it considers how and why the name \"Rodin\" came to stand for a powerful constellation of ideas about art, authorship, and creative genius within the vibrant spectacle culture of Belle ?poque Paris. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juliet Bellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300275161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300275162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Juliet Bellow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46738955501823,"sku":"9780300275162","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_481602ea-00c8-4c47-a75b-fcbcc88ca528.jpg?v=1743276789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rodins-dancers-juliet-bellow-9780300275162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
