About This Book
"In Picturing Performance, Thomas F. Heck has assembled a distinguished interdisciplinary team to review the theoretical and practical problems associated with traditional depictions of musicians, actors, and dancers. Lyckle de Vries, a noted Dutch art historian, explains and critiques Panofsky's iconographical method. Renaissance scholar M. A. Katritzky develops methodological principles common to all performing-arts iconography.
Heck traces the idea of icono-graphia from its distant Greek roots down to today's trendy world of icons and iconographies; he also provides a concise introduction to musical iconography. Robert Erenstein discusses the rise of theatre iconography with some choice Dutch examples. Frank Peeters and A.
William Smith respectively deal with scenography and dance iconography, and Heck's concluding chapters give practical information on where and how contemporary picture research is done, and predict future technological trends."--BOOK JACKET. "This handbook offers practical suggestions for getting started in picture research, providing the names and addresses (including Web and e-mail) of the most important visual resources and picture libraries in Europe and the U.S.A."--BOOK JACKET.
