| Description | The study discusses the life and work of the French actor, singer and teacher Francois Delsarte (1811–1871). Since 1830s Delsarte had conducted the research of acting expression in relation to the voice and actor’s education. His interest in the gestural and vocal expression of people exceeded the narrow field of aesthetics towards the anthropology. The study analyzes Delsarte’s concept of semiotics of gesture that was significantly influenced by the triadic philosophy of St. Augustine and Dionysius the Areopagite, as well as the principle of correspondence. Apart from that, the essay reminds us of the impact of Delsarte’s system on the representatives of European and American modernism and avantgarde. |
