The Museum at FIT presented its 16th academic symposium Proust’s Muse<\/strong><\/em>. The day-long symposium was organized in conjunction with the exhibition Proust’s Muse, The Countess Greffulhe<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. Researchers from the United States and Europe discussed the connections between fashion, patronage, literature, and the arts in turn of the century France. The Countess Greffulhe was a champion of the arts, who influenced literature, ballet, and music. The French composer Gabriel Fauré dedicated his slow processional piano piece—Pavane<\/em>—to her, and she was a major supporter of the Ballets Russes, an itinerant ballet company based in Paris. She also supported the scientist Marie Curie, and the unjustly-imprisoned Jewish army officer, Alfred Dreyfus.<\/p>\n
