French Art Nouveau Bronze Figural Lamp Depicting Loie Fuller, after Francois-Raoul Larche (French, 1860-1912), mid-20th century, signed at base, h. 18", w. 8", d. 7-1/4". American dancer Loie Fuller was the epitome of Art Nouveau style. A proponent of modern dance, she incorporated swirling diaphanous silk gauzes, electric stage lights, and colored slides into her performances. Fuller presented her theatrical dance at the 1900 Paris Exposition, and the lamps by Larche were for sale in her studio during the exposition. Examples are in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and Villa Stuck Museum in Germany.
