Le livre illustré face à la danse : un médium empathique ?

2020

This article looks at the illustrated book as an intermedial transaction relying on a process of empathetic reception. The books examined here belong to the revival of illustration in England after the First World War: the series Impressions of the Russian Ballet (1918-1922) written and published by Cyril Beaumont, and the ‘livre de peintre’ Russian Ballet (1919) written and illustrated by David Bomberg. Part and parcel of the reception of modern dance, and more precisely of the Russian ballet, these books emphasize the symbolic significance of print in its ability to capture the ephemeral performance of dance.
