Böcker av Arnold Aronson

A celebration of "the dean of American set designers" (The New York Times).

Examines the ways in which the visual theatre affects our understanding of the dramatic event. These essays bring the physical aspect of theatre back into its proper place: an element as integral to the performance as the spoken word, and they will inspire theater-goers to become more aware of their role as seers of the theatre.

Includes: John Lee Beatty, John Conklin, Karl Eigsti, Ralph Funicello, Marjorie Bradley Kellogg, Eugene Lee, Ming Cho Lee, Santo Loquasto, David Mitchell, Douglas Schmidt and Robert Wagner.

This book offers the first in-depth look at avant-garde theatre in the United States from the early 1950s to the 1990s looking at its origins and its theoretical foundations through an examination of literature, cinema and art.
