Dance and Costumes: A History of Dressing Movement

With this book, and for the first time, we are provided with a well-founded and easy-to-read history of dressing and unveiling the body and the accompanying evolution of stage dance since the 17th century. An extensive collection of images and sources from institutions such as Victoria and Albert Museum, MoMA, Musee dOrsay, Museo Reina Sofia, National Gallery of Washington, British Museum, German Historical Museum and Kunst-haus Zurich illustrate the development of this relationship up to the present day.
