ROBIN VEDER is an associate professor of humanities and art history/visual culture, Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg.
One of the distinguishing features of The Living Line is Veder s
attention to the literal, physical ways in which her body cultures
altered an artist s working habits and therefore directly shaped
the look of their art. . . . [It] is a rich and extraordinarily
detailed picture of the early twentieth-century period body. Oxford
University Press Journals, Year's Work in Critical and Cultural
Theory, 2016"
Veder s investigations establish connections among visual artists,
patrons of modernism, progressive educational theorists such as
John Dewey, and modern dance choreographer Ted Shawn, which
demonstrates the breadth and popularity of body culture ideas and
practices among the avant-garde of the pre WW II US. . . .
