In darkened concert halls in turn-of-the-century Paris beams of colored light would turn the swirling sheets of fabric that the American dancer Louie Fuller moved about her into impressions of flames, butterflys and surrealistic, ephemeral impressions. Her new dance form became synonymous with the Art Nouveau Movement in architecture, design, fashion and graphic arts at the threshold to modernity. Her name inspired a new restaurant in Providence at 1455 Westminster Street, which transports its visitors into Paris around 1900. Kyla Coburn painted the interior.
