Commentary


L’émission de cette médaille est la suivante : 157 exemplaires en bronze, 109 exemplaires en argent, 2 exemplaires en bronze argenté et 1 exemplaire en or (4 exemplaires Dep. et 2 exemplaires artistes).
Née aux Etats-Unis dans l'Illinois, Mary Louise Fuller (1862-1928), dite Loïe Fuller, a fait ses débuts au théâtre des Folies Bergère à Paris fin 1892. Elle a créé un nouveau style de danse en associant dans ses mises en scène des mouvements de voiles et des effets de lumière colorés. Elle a inspiré de nombreux artistes du symbolisme et de l'Art nouveau, dont Pierre Roche qui entre tenait une relation très étroite avec elle. Il lui a dédié bon nombre d'œuvres, statuettes, dessins et bas-reliefs notamment, et a même orné le pignon de sa maison d'une girouette représentant la danseuse. En 1900, lors de l'Exposition universelle de Paris, Loïe Fuller a fait construire par l'architecte Henri Sauvage son propre pavillon-théâtre pour lequel Roche a créé des décorations et une grande statue. Lui aussi profondément impressionné par les représentations spectaculaires de la danseuse, le critique d'art Roger Marx lui consacra un article, le 1 février 1893, peu après ses premières apparitions à Paris. En 1894, il envisagea avec Roche la rédaction d'un livre illustré d'estampes modelées publié dix ans plus tard sous le titre La Loïe Fuller. Dans ce contexte, il n'est pas surprenant que Roche ait créé pour la SAMF une médaille dédiée à la danseuse. C'est Marx qui a choisi l'inscription du revers reprenant un vers emprunté au poème L'Irréparable de Charles Baudelaire : Un être, qui n'était que lumière, or et gaze. Sans doute à l'initiative de son fondateur, la Société a fait graver en argent un exemplaire supplémentaire de la médaille qui a été remis à Loïe Fuller.
The issue of this medal is as follows: 157 examples in bronze, 109 examples in silver, 2 examples in silver-plated bronze and 1 example in gold (4 examples Dep. and 2 artist examples).
Born in Illinois in the United States, Mary Louise Fuller (1862-1928), known as Loïe Fuller, made her debut at the Folies Bergère theatre in Paris at the end of 1892.. She created a new style of dance by combining veil movements and colored light effects in her productions.. She inspired many Symbolist and Art Nouveau artists, including Pierre Roche, who had a very close relationship with her.. He dedicated a number of works to her, including statuettes, drawings and bas-reliefs, and even decorated the gable of his house with a weather vane representing the dancer.. In 1900, during the Paris World's Fair, Loïe Fuller had her own pavilion-theatre built by the architect Henri Sauvage, for which Roche created decorations and a large statue.. Also deeply impressed by the dancer's spectacular performances, the art critic Roger Marx devoted an article to her on February 1, 1893, shortly after her first appearances in Paris.. In 1894, he and Roche considered writing an illustrated book of modeled prints, published ten years later under the title La Loïe Fuller. In this context, it is not surprising that Roche created a medal for the SAMF dedicated to the dancer. It was Marx who chose the inscription on the reverse, which takes a line from the poem L'Irréparable by Charles Baudelaire: A being, who was only light, gold and gauze. Probably on the initiative of its founder, the Society had an additional example of the medal engraved in silver, which was presented to Loïe Fuller.

Historical background


III REPUBLIC

(4/09/1870-10/07/1940)

The news of the capitulation of Sedan provokes the revolution of September 4, 1870 in Paris. Proclaimed at the Hôtel de Ville, the Republic is endowed with a provisional government called the Government of National Defense. Threatened on the left by the insurrection of the Commune and on the right by the monarchists, the new regime had a difficult start.. Initially head of the executive power (February 1871), Thiers was responsible for reorganizing the country before choosing its form of government.. He became President of the Republic in August 1871 and, despite his action to liberate the territory, had to leave his post in March 1873 in the face of royalist opposition.. He is then replaced by Mac-Mahon favorable to the restoration of the monarchy but this one is not restored following the question of the flag. The law of the septennat was then put in place in November 1873 and then, in 1875, the fundamental laws were passed which served as the Constitution of the Third Republic.. Parliamentary system, it is characterized in particular by the clear preponderance of the legislative power on the executive power. Anticlerical, the Third Republic makes school free, secular and compulsory but continues the colonial policy for its economic, strategic and moral ambitions. Separation of Church and State was passed in 1905.. The idea of revenge on Germany and significant nationalism are at the heart of the Boulangist crisis, the Panama scandal or the Dreyfus affair of the years 1886-1899, while foreign policy is very active, particularly in Morocco and that the arms race develops. The First World War was expensive for France, which only recovered from 1920 or even 1928 for the coin with the "Poincaré" franc.. The crisis of 1929 is felt only from 1932 but lasts until 1939, a period during which ministerial instability is very important. Wavering in 1934, the Third Republic found a new unitary cement with anti-fascism which enabled the Popular Front to come to power in 1936.. But, paralyzed against Germany, France was then bogged down in a "phony war" and then suffered one of the greatest defeats in its history in June 1940.. Gathered in the National Assembly in Vichy on July 10, 1940, the Chambers, although elected in 1936, voted full powers to Pétain in a sort of collective suicide by 569 votes for, 80 votes against and 18 abstentions..
