Newspaper article from an undated and unnamed newspaper. Title of article is "Student Life While in Paris/ Interesting Recital Given Before the Woman's Club/ Mrs. S. C. Fuller Speaks/ Aim and Methods of Sculpture Fully Explained". Article is in three sections, with two overlapping each other. The first section has the second on its back, but Meta found another newspaper to cut from and included it under the first section. The additional second is missing the very end which as been taken from the back of the first. Article is as follows: "A great many members of the Framingham Woman's Club were disappointed Tuesday afternoon, the bad weather preventing their attendance. The surprisingly large number who did brave the storm were well repaid and there was no dampening of interest, even though every pause was filled with the sound of the pouring rain against the windows. Mrs. S. C. Fuller, in her account of her student life in Paris, was most interesting and the talk upon her department of art, which, as she syas, is so often overlooked, and quite seldom very well understood, was very enlightening and her descriptions of the city itself gave some new lights on its civic policy, particularly in its extraordinary cleanliness. Even after market day everything is absolutely cleared away. Mrs. James Glass, chairman of the Art department, was in charge of the program and the department is greatly indebted to Mr. Shannon of the Lincoln school, who kindly loaned his lantern for the occasion, together with a detail of boys to operate the same. With this assistance Mrs. Fuller threw upon the screen a succession of views of different parts of Paris, beginning with a map of the city, in which she showed the student quarters, the Latin quarter and Mont Martre, the quarter of the more well-to-do artists - together with many scenes in the city, the Palais des Beaux Arts, in which are held the Continued on Page Two Student Life While in Paris/Continued from Page One. ... Salons, and other public buildings. Interesting views in the Latin Quarter were the rows of book stalls along the Seine and similar characteristic scenes. Included in the slides were a number of photographs of the work of rodin with whom Mrs. Fuller studied, including is famous "Thinker" and of many of her own pieces which have won diplomas at exhibtions and which have been made for especial exhibits. Among them was Mrs. Fuller's group "The Wretched" which was exhibited in the Salon in Paris. Interspersed with her descriptions of Paris and its art were interesting little stories and descriptions of the careless happy student life, the hard work, often far into the night, lightened by the good fellowship, the fun and nonsense of their hours of relaxation, which Mrs. Fuller said is all perfectly pictured in the once famous, now almost forgotten "Trilby." She explained the aim and method of sculpture, which is not as easily understood as painting, embodying as it always does an idea which does not appear at the first glance. The piece through which Meta Fuller won the interest of the great artist Rodin was rather gruesome, "Secret Sorrow," representing a man literally "eating out his heart." On seeing it Rodin studied it a few moments and then said: "Madamoiselle, you are an artist. You have the sense of form in your fingers." A pretty head of "Sylvia," the speaker accompanied by reciting Shakespeare's poem "Who is Sylvia?" The last included "John the Baptist," "Peeping Tom," suggested by Tennyson's "Godiva" and many others and closed with her "Emancipation" group. The nature of her work prevented the exhibition of much in other than photograph form, but she had brought a few of her smaller pieces, which exhibited, among them the charming reproduction of her mother seated in an arm chair, the portrait statuette of Mrs. Maude Cuney Hare, which was exhibited recently at the 116th exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia [end second section] [start third section] In her talk, Mrs. Fuller traced the growth of sculpture from the earliest Egyptian, which was simple and massive through its development in Greek and early Gothic which was more realistic up to the impressionistic which goes beyond the real and shows things as they appear, rather than as they are. The slides gave many illustrations of each in statuary and architecture, and the afternoon was profitable in an unusual line of thought for everyone present. The president, Mrs. Brown, called attention to the unusual number of conferences in the State Federation during the next few weeks and called attention to the next meeting of the club, which will be a public meeting, at which Chief Strongheart will appear in full native costume and lecture on the subject, 'From Peace Pipe to War Trail.' This is an event that will appeal - the first on record - especially to the sons of club members."

Newspaper article in three section. Headline is pasted along the top and states: "The Evening News, Framingham, Mass. Tuesday, June 17, 1919." Title for the article is "Models Panel/ for Y.M.C.A. Bldg./ At Atlanta, GA." Article is in two sections and is as follows: "Mrs. S. C. Fuller is completing, in her studio on Warren road, the modeling of a panel which is to be placed above a fire place in the new (colored) Y. M. C. A. building at Atlanta, Ga. The panel which is about five feet square is designed and executed with the spiritual conception and vivid life that characterizes all Mrs. Fuller's work. When finished it will be cast in plaster and after it is put in place will be bronzed. Interwoven in the design is the symbolic oak of Atlanta, and the motto of the association, "Spirit, mind, body." The central figure of the panel is a crouching Negro youth, about to rise. Over his shoulder appears a winged spirit, whispiring encouragement in his ear and urging him towards the light, the sun, to which it points. the face of the youth expressess slowly awakening aspiration, struggling with the dullness of long oppression. Chubby figures of little children surround the central figures, against with leaves and clusters of acorns, child figures represent the generations of the future, the hope of the race and are wonderfully individual, showing all shades of expression, "from grave to gay" and all sorts of poses. The words "Spirit, mind, body" are inconspicuously introduced, separately on small shield-like surfaces, in among the child figures. The thought is clearly worked out, the lines and modeling true and spirited and will convey, when finished and in place, the real inspiration that the artist intended. Mrs. Fuller always works with some difinite thought to be expressed and her descriptions are very illuminating to the unartistic observer. [end first section.] [start second section.] In her studio is noticable a life size plaster group which was exhibited in New York several years ago, illustrating emancipation. A slave youth and maiden, standing, under an over shadowing something representative of their servitude, have just been set free, from slavery. Behind them Humanity personified is urging them on, while Race-hatred holds them back. Bewildered they stand, looking to the future, but with nothing in their hands to help them, and with only the scantist clothing. Humanity, while urging them forward, weeps for their discouraging state. This group attracted a good deal of attention when exhibited. Mrs. Fuller, who was a pupil of Rodin in Paris, while a student, first attracted the notice of the great sculptor by the spiritual depth of conception and the intensity of life expressed in her work. A visit to her home and studio is an experience to be remembered with pleasure."

Newspaper article in 4 parts from "Framingham, Mass. Friday, December 20, 1918" The title of the article is "By Sudden End of War/ Suggests Piece of Sculpture by Mrs. S. C. Fuller/ Noble Figure of Peace/ Springs From Out Clouded Battlefields in France". The article is as follows: Mrs. S. C. Fuller, Warren road, is at work upon a piece of sculpture, [start second section] the idea of which was suggested to her mind by the sudden ending of the war. The details are not all worked out yet, but the vivid representation of life that characterizes all of Mrs. Fuller's work is brought out in a manner that makes the observer share in the artist's inspiration. From the battle field strewn with dead and dying, with broken cannon and debris of the fight, rises a cloud, out of which springs a nobel figure of Peace. The right hand holds aloft a large banner, in the left is the olive branch. The face, strong and spiritual at the same time, shows the suffering, agony and suspense of the exultation of the final triumph, and a clear, long look into the future. Mrs. Fuller's thought was to show Peace, coming as it did, suddenly, out of a cloud, as it were, when we had expected to endure some years more of war. In the dim confusion of the battle field below, here and there a wounded man raises himself to look up and stretch a feeble hand towards the glorious figure, whose free lines, flowing drapery, its abounding life and the lofty conception of the whole, show in a striking manner the genious of the artist whose work [start third section] By Sudden End of War/Continued from Page One is too little known in Framingham. An earlier piece, done by Mrs. Fuller at the beginning of the war and on a similar theme, was on exhibition at the rooms of the Woman's Peace Party in Boston, some time ago, and was described in The News."

Newspaper article in small typeface in two sections. Next to the article written in pencil is "Boston Transcript sat. Nov. 16, 1918" The article is as follows: "That we have our own deep-seated race prejudices to conquer, and our own race problems of the most serious nature to solve, was borne in upon the Listener the other day in a visit to the exhibit of sculpture by a young colored matron, Mrs. Meta Warrick Fuller, at the Soldiers' Comfort Unit in Massachusetts avenue, near Columbus avenue. Here is a colored woman's work of an arresting interest. It shows technical skill, well-trained - with gleams here and there of unmistakable excellence. It is youthful genius that has hardly unfolded as it certainly will under favoring conditions. Not that the artist has not had the best of teaching, so far as that goes in high art, having graduated from the Academy of Industrial Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, after which came three years in Paris, where she interested Rodin and exhibited in the Salon. Beside her technical merit - good modelling, anatomical knowledge - there is a certain 'gesture' in her work of the 'fine careless rapture' that is revealing and convincing, especially in certain portrait statuettes and sketches. Most of the pieces are small--chiefly groups for book-ends and odd character types. There is, however, one ambitious design for the coming peace memorial which won the prize of the Woman's Peace Party for Permanent Peace. The main figure of the design is a war-horse driven headlong by a blind rider with Death on the croup, reaching for the bridle. It is in this that the creative abandon most impresses the beholder. It has always been the Listener's belief that one broad 'way out,' open to all, for this young sculptor's race, lies through the fine arts. In fact, in every field of art - music, painting, sculpture, poetry--already there are the living examples to prove it. Art is the purest democracy in the world--ever has been, and ever must be."

Newspaper article with the title "Modern Sculpture". Article is undate and not assigned to a newspaper producer. Article is as follows: "Cleveland Museum Acquires a Notable Group of Works by Rodin and Other Contemporary Sculptors. Some time ago the Cleveland Museum of Art announced that it had received as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Ralph King a bronze cast of Auguste Rodin's "Le Penseur," one of four copies of this work in this hemisphere, the other three being in San Francisco, Baltimore and Buenos Aires. This famous bronze figure, heroic in scale was at first shown in the rotunda of the museum, but it is now placed in the centre of the first marble terrace in front of the main entrance. It is massive in conception as well as in actual bulk, and was, therefore, somewhat overpowering while in the rotunda, but in its present position the scale is better, and one is impressed more forcibly than ever by the strength and master of the sculptor's creation. Mr. King has now added to this gift a full-size cast of Rodin's earlier "Age of Bronze," which, however, is held in Paris for the present. Another example by the same master is also retained in Paris - a large bronze head of one of the "Bourgeois de Calais," the gift of Miss Emery May Holden. A plaster cast of this head is in the loggia of the garden court of the Cleveland Museum. Besides the above-mentioned bronzes, a small marble group by Rodin known as the "Little Brother and Sister" has recently been received by the Cleveland Museum as a gift from Salmon P. Halle. It is on exhibition in Gallery II. The marble is slightly translucent and beautifully white. The contour of the infants' bodies is subtle and alluring, and the profiles especially sweet, while the chubby limbs have a softness that Rodin knows how to produce. The bulletin of the Cleveland Museum states it is not unlikely that this will be one of the latest works by Rodin to find its way to America, since the artist has given to the French Government his entire collection of sketches, studies, original plasters and all the finished work in his possession (two pencil checkmarks to the side of this section). From Miss Loie Fuller has been received the original plaster model for the large bronze head which is to be Miss Holden's gift, now awaiting shipment from Paris; also, a small bronze of one of the "Bourgeois (scratched out with pencil writing to the right Parghese) de Calais" and a small bronze foot. When the two pieces from Paris arrive, the Cleveland Museum will be the fortunate possessor of seven examples of Rodin's work. In addition to the two pieces by Rodin, Miss Fuller has also presented to the Museum a charming little marble figure by Theodore Riviere, a bronze portrait figure of Miss Fuller by Pierre Roche, a small seated figure of Napoleon (pencil checkmark next to this sentence) by Carpeaux, a little dancing girl by Meta Warrick, and a bronze cast of the life-mask of Napoleon by Antommarchi. Miss Fuller and Madame Riviere have recently lent to the Museum a group of bronzes and marbles by Theodore Riviere, which are to be seen in the Gallery VI."

Fuller Awarded First and Second Prizes in Sculpture Competition. Last winter the art committee of the Massachusetts branch of the Woman's Peace party announced a competition for two prizes for the best paintings, drawings, or sculptures promoting the constructive peace movement. The first prize offered was $50; the second prize, $25. The competition closed May 1. the first prize of $50 has now been awarded to Miss Rose Garrity of Boston, a sculptor, who has studied about two years under Roger Nobel Burnham. Her subject is "Peace rests upon international law, which is built and upheld by the people." The central figure is that of a man who typifies international law, supporting on his shoulder a woman who symbolizes peace. A youth with a harp in one hand reaches up with the other hand to grasp the mantle of peace, as "art cannot exist without peace." The second prize of $25 has been awarded to Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller of Framingham, a colored woman. Her subject is "Peace halting the ruthlessness of war." War is blind and is mounted on a blind horse, riding down men, women and children; he bears aloft a head impaled on his spearpoint. The angel of peace with raised hands halts his progress. Mrs. Fuller took a first prize at the Philadelphia School of Industrial Art, then went to Paris, where she studied under Carles, Injalbert and Rodin. She has exhibited at Philadelphia, Buffalo and the Jamestown Exposition. Her husband is pathologist at the Westboro State Hospital for the Insane."

Newspaper article titled "2nd Sculpture Prize Won By Mrs. S. C. Fuller." In pencil vertically along the left side is written "Boston Guardian". The article is as follows: "Mass. Branch of Woman's Peace Party Awards $25 Prize to Former Philadelphia, Zeta Karrick Fuller. Mrs. Malcolm Forbes Elected President. The Boston Post of 24th instant reports: - Miss Rose A. Garrity of 77 Gainsboro street, a pupil of Roger Burnham, the sculptor, was yesterday awarded the sculpture prize of $50 offered by the Massachusetts Branch of the Woman's Peace Party for the best sketch conception of the constructive peace movement.

Newspaper article from The Evening News, Framingham, Mass. Wednesday, June 6, 1917. The title of the article is "Wins Second Prize of $25/ Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller in Competition/ Wax Model of Merit/ Represents "Peace Halting Ruthlessness of War"" Article is as follows: " Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, of Framingham, whose work in sculpture is well known in the world of art, has recently been awarded the second prize of $25, in a competition conducted by the art committee of the Massachusetts branch of the Woman's Peace Party. The piece which was present for judgment[sic.] by Mrs. Fuller, together with that which won the first prize, is on exhibition at the headquarters of the Woman's Peace Party, 421 Boylston street, Boston. The prizes were offered for the best paintings, drawings or sculpture which of their conception should promote the constructive peace movement. Mrs. Fuller's group, which is modeled in gray-green wax, and stands about 20 inches high, is entitled "Peace Halting the Ruthlessness of War." It represents War, beside himself with the craze of slaughter, mounted on a wildly plunging steed which tramples and crushes crowds of cowering human beings. Both horse and rider are blind, and War wears on his countenance a horrible leering laugh. In his right hand he carries a spear, a human head, a war trophy, impaled upon its point. From beneath the helmet the symbolic/Continued on Page Six. scarf, the love token of Mediaeval[sic.] times, twines and flutters about the shaft of the spear. A beautiful figure of Peace has alighted before the maddened steed and with upraised hand commands him to stop. The group is modelled with a fine effect of life and action and reflects the strong mentality and abundant life of the artist. The effect of arrested action is striking and vivid. In speaking of the idea which she sought to embody in her work, Mrs. Fuller said that she had in her mind, subconsiously, while at work upon the group, something of the thought expressed in the fifteenth chapter of the first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, the contrasting of power, spiritual and temporal, - Peace the spiritual power which shall strengthen and sustain that which is temporal. Mrs. Fuller, who is the wife of Dr. Solomon C. Fuller, of Warren road, is a graduate of a Philadelphia art school of note, and her work is known quite widely in art circles throughout the country."
