Susan Fillin-Yeh is the author of The Serpentine Lattice: Helen and Newton Harrison, The Technological Muse, and Charles Sheeler: American Interiors.
"A finely wrought ensemble of studies orienting us to a
‘hyperaesthetics' of sartorial and bodily fashioning. To see such
diverse ways that people have bodily troped and conceptually
trumped cultural categorizations of gender, race, colonial and
socioeconomic positionality is inspiring andwelljust dandy!"
*Michael Silverstein,University of Chicago*
"Both lively and scholarly, this is the collection many have been
waiting for. At last the dandy emerges from the western European
upper class (and male) closet resplendent in a rainbow of cultural,
ethnic, sexual, gender and racial colors. Dandies: Fashion and
Finesse in Art and Culture is a fascinating investigation into the
constructed self, and a major contribution to art and cultural
history!"
*Whitney Chadwick,author of Women, Art, and Society*
"Should be of great interest to any civilized personthe dandy, a
mutation of taste, is not definable. The book offers a group of
excellent essays that attempt to pin it down."
*Alex Katz*
