Nicholas Fox Weber: The Art of Tennis, Gebunden

Klappentext

A celebration of tennis, its cultural influence, the game and its players, for any fan. Discover how the game has inspired paintings, ballets, music, fiction, poetry, theatre, and even clothing--all because the game of tennis is an art form of its own.

Tennis is a game of precision, timing, athleticism, strategy, and, sometimes, a little luck. Small wonder this sport attracts so many players and fans--including artists and writers who see something transcendent in hitting a ball with a racket over a net and inside a rectangular field.
