Requests:  0 Summary:  Using over 200 circus related artworks from the French National Library's private collections, celebrated cultural historian Pascal Jacob tells the story of travelling entertainers and their art and trade. From nomadic animal tamers of the Dark Ages to European jugglers and acrobats of the 1800s, from the use of the circus as Soviet propaganda to the 20th-century Chinese performance art renaissance, this is an exhaustive history with a uniquely international scope. Jacob draws on both rare and famous artworks, including prints dating from the 13th century, and paintings by Picasso and Dore. In doing so he demonstrates the circus to be a visual and physical masterpiece, constantly moving and evolving, and just as exciting an experience for audiences now as it was 1,000 years ago.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.3 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.3 Jacob Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 791.3 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 791.3-Jacob Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.3 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.3 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
