520			_a"When Martha Graham died at the age of 96, it was front page news around the world. For the revolutionary impact she had on her art, she was compared with Picasso and Stravinsky. While alive, she blocked every effort of those who would have written about her, preferring to leave a legend rather than a true picture of her life. In this critically acclaimed biography, renowned dancer and choreographer Agnes de Mille, who knew Graham for nearly sixty years, penetrates Graham's mask of privacy to capture her very essence. Visionart, tempestuous innovator, relentless taskmaster, Martha Graham was a women who would sacrifice everything - love, friendship, money - for the sake of her art. DE Mille's account of Martha Graham - a book twenty-five years in the writing - is impassioned yet discerning, engaging, always stylish - and paints an indelible portrait of the woman who in one lifetime virtually invented modern dance in America.
