Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller
Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller ( ; June 9, 1877 – 18 March 1968) was an African-American artist, notable for her art celebrating Afrocentric themes. She was known as a multi-talented artist who wrote poetry, painted, and sculpted. At the turn of the twentieth century, she was a well-known sculptor in Paris before her return to the United States. She was a protege of Auguste Rodin, and has been described as "one of the most imaginative Black artists of her generation.〔 The editors compare Warrick with her contemporary, May Howard Jackson, another African-American sculptor from Philadelphia, who was also born in 1877.〕 Fuller created work with strong social commentary and became a forerunner of the Black Renaissance, a movement promoting African-American art.
== Early life ==
Meta Vaux Warrick was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.〔 Her parents were Emma Jones Warrick, a beautician, and William H. Warrick, a barber. She was named after Meta Vaux, the daughter of Senator Richard Vaux, one of her mother's customers.
Philadelphia's black community was socially and intellectually active and she trained her in art, music, dance and horseback riding. The city's fast-growing black population along with increasing numbers of black organizations and institutions and rich cultural resources made it possible for middle-class black society to prosper. Education, cultural enrichment, and social activity were encouraged and expected in her family. She was among the few selected from the Philadelphia public schools to attend J. Liberty Tadd's art school.
Her art education and art influences began at home, her father was interested in sculpture and painting.〔 Her older sister, who later became a beautician like her mother, had an interest in art and kept clay that Meta was able to play with. Her brother and grandfather entertained and fascinated her with endless horror stories. These influences partly shaped her sculpture as she eventually progressed into an internationally trained artist known as "the sculptor of horrors."〔
