Roy Fuller

Roy Fuller "is a work of art from the 19th and 20th centuries, currently housed in the Minneapolis Museum of Art in the United States. This work is by a dancer named 'Roy Fuller'. Roy Fuller (1862-1928) was an American dancer, actor, and choreographer. She played a key role in the development of 'free dance', which was the predecessor of modern dance. She not only choreographed her own body movements, but also her silk costumes and patented stage lighting technology. Fuller received a warm welcome in Paris and became a part of the Art Nouveau movement, associated with symbolism.
