Donald Hamilton Fraser's ballet drawings already have many admirers.
This delightful book is set to increase this number.These insightful and lovingly executed drawings demonstrate Hailton Fraser's natural skill as a draughtsman. For the artist,they are 'little maps of experience',each one expressing and capturing a moment in a dancer's life, whether it be in class,in performance,or simply in repose.
Hamilton Fraser,whose work is represented in major public collections throughout the world,admits to a devotion to ballet that borders on the obsessional.He says: 'the language of ballet confers sheer physical beauty on a person'.
Lavishly illustrated with colour and b/w drawings,'Dancers' presents a unique insight into this world.As an evocation of the grace of ballet,this book is unsurpassed.
