Joseph Kratina - Art Nouveau Bronze Dancer
Item/Description: Signed, original Art Nouveau bronze sculpture of American dancer Loie Fuller. Patinated and gilt bronze figure of a dancer with flowing gown. Signed: J. Kratina - Paris. Silver plate bottom.
Loie Fuller (1862-1928) was an American dancer, actress, and choreographer. She was pivotal in the development of "free dance" - the precursor to modern dance - choreographing not only her physical movements, but that of her silk costumes and her own patented theatrical lighting techniques. Fuller moved to Europe in 1892 where she grew well-beloved in Paris and became part of the Art Nouveau crowd and affiliated with Symbolism. She was connected to many artists and a frequent subject of works such as this sculpture of Fuller in her performative silk skirts by Joseph Kratina (Josef Kratina) (Bohemian Czech American, 1872-1953) was a sculptor and teacher, he studied in Paris at Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Academie Julian .
