Footnotes
Pico was a French architect, interior designer and one time designer for Ruhlmann furniture who created the dancing lady facade over the entrance to the Folies Bergere building in Paris in 1926. The facade depicts the dancer Lila Nikolska, who posed for the sculpture. Pico's name appears on the Folies Bergere official website, and a comprehensive account of this decoration can be found in the book by Gilles Neret entitled 'The Arts of the Twenties' (plate 13).
