Statue of Loïe Fuller by Théodore Rivière, c1890s, (1903). Creator: Unknown.

Statue of Loïe Fuller by Théodore Rivière, c1890s, (1903). Loie Fuller (1862-1928) was an American dancer who pioneered modern dance and theatrical lighing techniques. Fuller performed 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'. Statuette in ivory and silver, cast by Susse Frères. From "La Revue De L'Art Ancien et Moderne" - Volume XIV, July-December 1903, [Paris, 1903].
