Beschreibung

Before RuPaul's Drag Race propelled the cultural phenomenon into the global spotlight, drag had been around for thousands of years. Immerse yourself in the rich history of drag in this lusciously illustrated guide, brimming with dazzling colors and fabulous facts, all held together with a unique Swiss binding that lets each spread lay flat so that you can experience this book in all its trailblazing glory!

The history of drag has been formed by many intersections: fashion, theatre, sexuality and politics--all coming together to create the show stopping entertainment millions witness today. In this extensive work, Jake Hall delves deep into the ancient beginnings of drag, to present day and beyond. Vibrant illustrations enhance the rich history from Kabuki theatre to Shakespearean, the revolutionary Stonewall riots to the still thriving New York ballroom scene. Nothing will go undocumented in this must-have documentation of all things drag.

We are all born naked and the rest is drag! I knew very little about drag when I stumbled upon this gem in a local library. And once I opened the book, it became obvious that I simply had to have my own copy! Filled with extravagant illustrations by many talented artists, the book presents us a comprehensive history of drag from its earliest origins all over the world. It masterfully explains the essence of drag and its mission. “The Art of Drag” is so rich in information, that I had to google for names and events after every sentence to learn even more. This book is such a beautiful representation of the history of drag and its evolution over time. Whether you are new to the world of drag or already have some knowledge, I strongly recommend reading this piece of art. You betta werk!
