"I wanted to create a new form
of art, an art completely irrelevant to the usual theories, an art giving to
the soul and the senses at the same time complete delight, where reality and
dream, light and sound, movement and rhythm form an exciting unity …" ~ Loie Fuller ( 1862-1928)
"Expressive yet barely mimetic, beautiful yet utterly modern, and with the suggestion of transport to otherworldly realms, her synthesis of color, movement, and music resonated deeply with other artists who saw her..." ~ Carolyn Sinsky

DeleteUtterly gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes....Isn't she?:) I love this inspiring discovery ~
DeleteAstonishing when you think she was making this beauty back around 1900...
ReplyDeleteAhead of her time, she would have still been just as extraordinary even now clearly!
Without the advantages of modern techniques or equipment but maybe her simplicity gives her work such a natural feel...
I found a little cute clip of her dancing and will put the link here to share
Thanks Shell :)
