Biographical History
Sculptor.
Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller was a productive sculptor for over seventy years whose work may be divided into distinct phases. Early works beginning in the 1890's dealt with the grotesque followed by her growing interest in African-American themes and more realism. Later she focused on religious subjects. Portraiture and mythological figures were also the subject of many of her works.
Born in Philadelphia to a middle class family, Fuller showed an early interest in the performing and fine arts, and won a scholarship to J. Liberty Tadd's Industrial Art School (now Philadelphia College of Industrial Art). She received a postgraduate scholarship to specialize in sculpture and in 1899 arrived in Paris to begin three years of study. During her final year in Paris, she met the great sculptor Auguste Rodin, who was impressed with her work and often critiqued it. A 1910 fire at her studio destroyed almost all her early work, and she later opened another studio in Massachussets. Fuller received many diverse commissions over the years, exhibited regularly, and also guided young artists. She was married to Solomon Carter Fuller, Liberian born and American educated neuropathologist and psychiatrist.
