In this generously illustrated book; world-renowned Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango; "the fabulous dance of the past hundred yearsndash;and the most beautiful; in the opinion of Martha Graham.rdquo;Thompson traces tangorsquo;s evolution in the nineteenth century under European; Andalusian-Gaucho; and African influences through its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world. He shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text; music; art; and philosophy of life. Passionately argued and unparalleled in its research; its synthesis; and its depth of understanding; Tango: The Art History of Love is a monumental achievement.From the Trade Paperback edition.
