"Meta Warrick, Sculptress"
Description
Small newspaper article in two parts. Article is as follows: "The Freeman/A National Illustrated Colored Newspaper/ Meta Warrick, Sculptress. Miss Warrick is the sculptress of the group at the Jamestown Exposition depicting the progress and development of the Negro race since the first Negroes were landed at Jamestown in 1619. This group has been highly praised, though it was executed with such haste that it can hardly be fairly compared with her other works. She has had the distinguished honor of two examples of her work in the Paris Salon in one year. She delights in the horrible, the tragic and the grotesque. As a student her best piece was a head of Medusa and among her most famous pieces is 'The Thief on the Cross.' She has not yet attempted a bust of Senator Tillman or of the Rev. Thos. Dixon."
