Did you know that one OF the
three sons of the late DR.. Sol
ornon c. Fuller and Meta War
rick Fuller, noted sculptreSS, is
an artist in his own right?
Perry J. Fuller, this son, is an
African mask maker, having
an interesting life following his
artistic bent inherited from his
mother. He was an industrial |
designer prior to developing his
own small factory in Brooklyn,
N. Y. 1t is natural that his
interest should turn to the de-
velopment Of African art in
reproduction of many types of !
masks because his paternal an
cestry originated from Liberia,
the birthplace of his father.
The young man spends long,
hard hours in developing minute
details His trade is interna-
tional and interracial and his
employment has included all
nationalities and religions. His
products, African masks, cere-
monial cups and Statuettes. are
sold in the leading department
and gift shops in the country.
1t is hoped that before long his
artistic works will find their
way to Boston art shops
