DGHM 110: Introduction to Digital Humanities

Philadelphia Sunday Press_July 20, 1902

Newspaper article with a reprinted drawing image of Meta. The image is her from the side, but facing slightly backwards to the left. She has a flat hat and a bow in her hair, which is tied into a bun at her neckline. Underneath the image is printed 'Miss Meta Warrick/ A young Philadelphia sculptor.' Above this article in pen is written 'Sunday Press July 20 - 1902' The article, cut out seperately, but pasted overlapping the drawing is as follows: 'Miss Meta Warrick, whose portrait from an etching by Duvre appears above, returns to this city from a stay of several years in Paris toward the end of this month. After a visit to Atlandic City, Miss Warrick will open a studio in this city. She had already made her mark among the youngest art students of the city before she left it. A most promising sketch by her, made in 1898, while a student at the Pennsylvania School of Industrial Art, is still on exhibition at the school as worthy permanent attention. In Paris Miss Warrick has studied at the Julian Academy and elsewhere. She has twice had a special exhibition of her work, the last of some twenty-two members, exhibited in June at "L'Art Nouveau, Bing." on the Rue de Provence. "In her work," writes the critic, Mr. Edouard Gerard, "there is much promise because there is in them the most precious qualities that one can find in a young artist - sense of form, originality of view, an easy daring and force of expression." Miss Warrick has sought, as he points out, in her work movement, vigor and a sense of extreme action. "Mlle. Warrick," says Mr. Gerard, "does not feel with the French poet. I hate the movement which displaced the line and believed instead that the line is the chief gift movement has to creat. In her art she constantly seeks it. Nothing seems alien to this young genious which conceives and executes with a singular force."
