Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Lydia Janssen was born in 1976 in Lansing, Michigan, and received a BA from Sarah Lawrence College in 1998. After graduating, she moved to New York City to pursue a professional dance career on a scholarship at the Merce Cunningham Studio School, performing with modern dance troupes Pam Tanowitz Dance Company and Jordana Toback/POON Dance Company.
Her dancing career ended after suffering several injuries, leading her to focus fully on her art practice. She spent a year at the Graduate Fine Arts Department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, before returning to New York to study at the Art Students League (2005-07) with Larry Poons and Ronnie Landfield, where she won the prestigious Red Dot Award for Excellence in Painting.
This book surveys the emotional landscape of Lydia Janssen’s relationship to her art, as she attempts to paint movement and to move with paint. The viewer’s kinaesthetic reaction is as significant as their visual response. Although her work is an autonomous, autobiographical journey, it is also like dancing with and on the canvas. The fundamental inspiration for Janssen’s art practice lies in the ineffability of dance as an art form: its drama, spectacle, and the tragedy of the body falling victim to its physical and emotional demands, as well as its pleasures. Janssen’s lively geometry and muted colours, make for edgy narratives on the fragility of the human body, survival after trauma, personal freedom, violence, intimacy, the symbolism of animals, and the erotic experience.
Lydia Janssen has held solo exhibitions in Asia and the USA, including most recently at the Redsea Gallery in Singapore and the Susan Eley Fine Art Gallery in New York. Her work can be found in private collections in the US, UK and Asia.
