After Egypt: Isadora Duncan & Mary Cassatt

NY: Dutton (1990). First edition. 403 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket. Dillon, famously Jane Bowles’ biographer, here paints a dual portrait of expatriate women artists of the early American century. Dillon’s feminist and sympathetic mind is able to discern, bring out, and analyze the cultural logic of gendered historical patterns that bind together the lives of these two very different women who have remained important to us and to our arts.
