内容简介

Sarah Bernhardt (1844 - 1923) was an extraordinary performer, so much so that her name became synonymous with acting. Yet her importance extended beyond the world of theatre - she was an icon of French nationalism, a target for both admiration and scorn, an artist and sculptor, and a trendsetting avatar of style. This fascinating book examines the many sides and talents of Bernhardt, from her beginnings at the Comedie Francaise through her international stardom. Wonderfully illustrated, the book features an unprecedented collection of images relating to Bernhardt's life, including paintings, posters, photographs, costumes, jewellery, stage designs, self-portraits and sculptures. Exhibition schedule: The Jewish Museum, New York, 2 December 2005 to 2 April 2006.
