SUMMARY

"A PASSION FOR PERFORMANCE is far from being any kind of biography of Sarah Siddons: it is a study of the many ways she ended up in paint. Published by the J Paul Getty Museum to mark an exhibition mounted last summer, it contains sumptuous reproductions of portraits which hang on both sides of the Atlantic, including Dulwich Gallery's SARAH SIDDONS AS TRAGIC MUSE by Joshua Reynolds. The three scholarly essays which constitute the text make nimble connections between Siddons's scrappy, exhausting life, her career as an actress specialising in noble roles, and the way in which these two realities collided on canvas."Asleson, Robyn is the author of 'Passion for Performance Sarah Siddons and Her Portraitists' with ISBN 9780892365579 and ISBN 0892365579.
