Framingham Evening News_May 18, 1914 Long newspaper article in three parts. Newspaper is The Evening News Framingham from Monday May 18, 1914. Title for the article is "An Exhibition of Sculpture/ Work of Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick-Fuller/ Viewed by Friends/ True Stamp of Genius is in Evidence" Article is as follows: "At the home of Dr. S. C. Fuller, Warren road, yesterday afternoon a number of friends gathered to view an exhibition of sculpture by Mrs. Meta Vaux Warrick-Fuller whose work is soming to be recognized in artistic circles as bearing the true stamp of genius. Mrs. Fuller is very modest about her work but she is full of enthusiasm and the 'divine fire,' and not the lease pleasing part of the occasion was the privilege of meeting the artist herself. The long, living room was given up to the exhibition and the piece that first attracted by the eye on entering was the second model of the group made for the New York State Emancipation Proclamation Commission in 1913, and exhibited at the exposition last October. The model is about 24 inches high, the finished group which was exhibited is 8 feet high. It represents a newly emacipated man and maiden standing in the shelter of a gnarled, decapitated tree that has the semblacne of a human hand stretched above them. This semblance of a had represents humanity which is pushing them out into the untried world and at the same time prevent[end first section] -ing them from a full exercise of their new found freedom. In the attitudes of the two figures who start out empty handed to try the new life is strikingly expressed the state of mind, which must be theirs, eagerness, uncertainty, timidity and courage, trying to realize all that freedom means and hesitating before taking the plunge. On either end of the chimney piece are masks, full size, of the two figures in the group, showing them rather larger than life-sized. On a pedistal also in the centre of the room is a small bronze group illustrating the rhythm and movement of the 'Danse Macabre.' Action, motion, life are vividly portrayed in Mrs. Fuller's work. In many small figures in the collection this is wonderfully depicted. In the little figure, 'A Young Equestrian,' a child on a rocking horse; in the 'Classic Dancer,' 'A Drink, Please,' 'Mother and Baby' where, the bed time frolic is illustrated, all show intense life and action. 'John' a study, sometimes called 'John the Baptist' is full of expression, the asceticosm, ferver and self denial of the 'one crying, in the wilderness' are all in the striking face. Another head, equally remarkable is 'The Jester,' a portrait and remarkable for its truthful ugliness. A number of relief portraits are shown, noticeably two of Dr. A. E. P. Rockwell of Worcester, and several of the children. A bust of the eldest child and one of Dr. Fuller are wonderfully lifelike. Four figures illustrating the four seasons were made for the over mantel panel. It is not possible to do justice to the twenty-nine numbers in the collection which make an exhibition of unusual veriety and scope, arranged about and on the walls of the room. Mrs. Fuller began her artistic studies in the School of Industrial Art in her home city of Philadelphia where she studied four years and won a scholarship. On the advice of the teachers there she went to Paris where she studied three years. Just previous to her marriage to Dr. Fuller she had the misfortune to lose by a fire nearly all her accum [end of section 2] -ulated work, the head of this collection, 'The Jester', being almost the only thing that escaped. Mrs. Fuller has a studio in the top of the house at Warren road, but as she says, she 'works all over the house.' The friends who viewed the exhibition yesterday came, many of them from a distance, Boston, Worcester and placed between, who could more conveniently come on Sunday. Mrs. Fuller will receive friends in town who are interested in her work on Wednesday and Friday this week."
