Loie Fuller. American born 1863 (Chicago,IL) made famous in Paris for her pioneering of modern dance and theatrical lighting. Filmed by the Lumiere Brothers in 1896 Paris, France, each frame was hand painted to achieve the various hues (which reminds me of modern day artist, Rey Parla's work on film). The cinematograph was also new at this time. The artists of that era amaze me. They literally created something out of nothing. It was revolutionary in the art world. No human had invented or eye seen. This is so fascinating. I am in awe.
