Czech Theatre Design in the Twentieth Century: Metaphor and Irony Revisited [With CDROM]

118 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This compilation of essays and images reveals an essential and valuable component of Czech contributions to the world of modern theatre heretofore largely unseen outside the country itself. Featuring the craft of twenty-seven of the best stage and costume designers of the twentieth century, Brandesky supplies ample evidence of their consistently high quality and dynamic creativity, survival skills for a people whose national identity had been dismantled during many years of occupation and repression.
