- Summary
- "I am in the cracks between theater and dance: I am searching for my own domain."--Back cover
- This book captures and interprets the performances of a madcap artist. Whether singing the songs of Robert Schumann or crooning Joni Mitchell, whether personifying the tortured Antonin Artaud, the glamorous Dagmar Onassis, or the enigmatic Mona Lisa, the performance artist, singer and dancer John Kelly is all diva, all talent, all the time. With great pathos, gesture, kindness, intelligence and sensitivity, John Kelly portrays the emotional extremes of his subjects in all their complexity, yet with a grand sense of romance and humor. This book profiles this unique and singular talent as seen through the eyes of great photographers, including John Dugdale, Nan Goldin, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Peter Hujar, Dona Ann McAdams and others.
