Book Reviews of Passion & Line: Photographs of Dancers

Book Review: The human animal at its best
Summary: 5 Stars

Dance, as I see it, is sculpture molded from human substance. People are made of muscle, muscle is made to move, so dancers represent one vision of humankind as it's meant to be.

These amazing athletes show why dancers fascinate visual artists. They project power, sensuality, and so much more, and Schatz captures them beautifully. The first quarter of the book devotes itself to female figures, elegant, lithe, and limber beyond belief. Next, the male figures appear, similar in their strength, but wonderfully different in how their bodies express that strength. Couples come next, in pas de deux, followed by groups to a half-dozen or more.

Schatz depicts dark-skinned models as often as lighter ones, and male figures as often as female. That cuts a cross-section through humanity much wider than many photo collections'. These models are all twenty-somethings in the peak of physical condition, so many shapes and ages don't appear here. That's fine, though. Schatz shows these amazing figures at their very finest.
