The 22-year-old's movements were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she performed barefoot. She shattered the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so, enchanted high society. A year later, in Paris, she met the sculptor Auguste Rodin, whose work proved a revelation, and the influential dancer Loie Fuller, whose support marked the beginning of a dazzling on-stage career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eIsadora\u003c\/em\u003e, Julie Birmant and Clément Oubrerie capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the so-called \"Mother of Modern Dance.\" This extraordinary graphic novel takes in her arrival in Europe, her rise to stardom and the development of a style of dance — inspired by natural forms and Greek sculpture — that would become her enduring legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844165226732,"sku":"9781910593691","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6691193482868.jpg?v=1758829372","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/isadora-9781910593691","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
