In performances by Euro-Americans; Afro-Americans; Native Americans; and Asians; Richard Schechner has examined carefully the details of performative behavior and has developed models of the performance process useful not only to persons in the arts but to anthropologists; play theorists; and others fascinated (but perhaps terrified) by the multichannel realities of the postmodern world.Schechner argues that in failing to see the structure of the whole theatrical process; anthropologists in particular have neglected close analogies between performance behavior and ritual. The way performances are createdmdash;in training; workshops; and rehearsalsmdash;is the key paradigm for social process.

PizzoI knew nothing of this painter and was actually ordering a book on Gerome when this popped up as a "you might also like this" suggestion. So I took a chance and ordered it and was delighted. The collection of paintings in the book by Valentin Serov are just beautiful. His style is like Sargent in treatment; compostion; and brush work. Most; if not all; of the paintings are reproduced in color. If you love painting; this book is an excellent addition to your art library and youll be treated to some delightful paintings that you have never seen before. Highly recommended.

Serov was a genius at painting a window into the essence of the person. The pose; the expression; the surroundings all tell a story. I think portrait artists can improve their skill by examining his work.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Valentin Serov (Best of Collection)By Patricia A.
