Summary

"This book examines 13 difficult yet crucial years in the life of one of the 20th Century's greatest artists, ballet choreographer George Balanchine. He arrived in the U.S. in 1933, a passport-less Russian émigré. Over the next 13 years, he created a handful of mysteriously intuitive, quintessentially American ballets. His postwar masterwork, The Four Temperaments (1946) pointed the way to America's new dominance in world culture. This book offers new connections between Balanchine's life (including his sexuality) and his work, and serves as a compelling introduction to this often-misunderstood co-founder of a great arts institutional complex, the New York City Ballet and School of American Ballet"-- Provided by publisher.
