Presents "Robert Wilson's Vision". The finest and most representative works of Robert Wilson. The one artist/genius who is widely acknowledged to be the most important figure in stage direction and design of our time. His contribution is arrestingly simple: Wilson has inseparably fused the roles of "director", "designer", and "artist", resulting in a visual approach to dramatic narrative that gives formal interdependence among light, space, and sound. Sculptures, drawings, videos, and installation works (including Wilson's seminal "the CIVIL warS") are shown together with other works that can be experienced, not just seen, in this Artist Book because of Wilson's sensory, tactile approach. The homage-contributions of fellow artists completes the retrospective. Robert Wilson's achievement is matched (but not surpassed) by the greatest creative forces of contemporary theater: Ariane Mnouchkine, Eiko Ishioka, Julie Taymor, Elizabeth LeCompte, Pina Bausch, and Peter Brook. There is, by now, a library on Wilson's ground-breaking work. This book is a cut above the rest. An absolute "must-have" title for Robert Wilson collectors. This title is a great collection. This copy of the First Softcover Edition uniquely comes with the CD and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, pristine beauties. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce set thus. One of the greatest creators of the theater of our time. A fine set. . ISBN 0878463240. Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
