Loie Fuller (1862-1928), pioneer of modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques, 1902-1903. Artist: Unknown

Loie Fuller, pioneer of modern dance and theatrical lighting techniques, 1902-1903. Loie Fuller was an American dancer who came to perform at the Folies-Bergère in Paris in 1892. Her act was a huge success; she swirled long drapes around herself, extending her reach with poles, while being lit in kaleidoscopic colours and by spotlights. The flowing lines and glowing colours of her dance have been credited as an influence on Art Nouveau, and many prints and small bronzes were made of her dance. She described herself as a 'sculptor of light', and even Rodin praised her strange 'art of the future'.
