Review

"[This] portrait of Fuller as a businesswoman of the theater is vivid and detailed. She wasn't content simply to perform. Instead, Fuller established a school and two art museums, choreographed prolifically and produced countless shows, toured the world with her company of dancers . . . wrote plays, explored and advanced various techniques of stagecraft, and served as an all-round muse for emerging Art Nouveau. . . This saga of life in the theater is irresistible in romantic scope, in sheer unlikelihood, and in Fuller's persistence of vision." -- Kirkus Reviews

From the Author

Loie Fuller and Art Nouveau
More than seventy artists in Europe and the U.S. created sculptures, posters, glass, and other artistic images of Loie Fuller. She is considered the personification of the Art Nouveau movement. The book Loie Fuller: Goddess of Light has color plates of many of these works, some never before published. It also has an appendix that lists all of the artists of known Loie pieces and details of each of their respective images of the dancer.
