  1. Paris Studios to Harlem Renaissance Icon: Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877 – 1968)

    2 DAYS AGO

    Paris Studios to Harlem Renaissance Icon: Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller (1877 – 1968)

    Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller overcame racism and sexism, from subtle slights to overt segregation, to become a celebrated sculptor and a key figure of the Harlem Renaissance. In Paris, she studied under Auguste Rodin, exhibited at the Salon des Beaux Arts in 1903, and formed a close friendship with W.E.B. Du Bois. Returning to the United States, she dedicated over sixty years to her artistic career, creating powerful and enduring portrayals of Black life. When Fuller first arrived at the Girls' Art Club in Paris, where she had been accepted as a resident based on her letters to the director, she was met with surprise and rejection solely due to the color of her skin. Despite this painful experience, she persevered and went on to exhibit her work at the Club with the American Woman's Art Association.  This episode serves as a stark reminder of a troubling instance of racism in Reid Hall's history.

    A Librarian’s Transatlantic Adventure: Constance Winchell (1896 – 1983)

    When you think of a librarian, what comes to mind? Constance Winchell worked as a highly influential reference librarian for over 30 years—but her career took her far beyond the dusty stacks you might imagine! Winchell traveled to Paris during the Roaring Twenties, worked on Franco-American relations at the newly founded American Library in Paris, and traveled extensively throughout Europe. Upon her return to the United States, she authored vital resources for librarians even today: the seventh and eighth editions of the Guide to Reference Books. She stayed at the American University Women’s Club at Reid Hall in 1924.

  4. A Wandering Scholar of Beasts and Saints: Helen Waddell (1889–1965)

    A Wandering Scholar of Beasts and Saints: Helen Waddell (1889–1965)

    Born in Japan, Helen Waddell was an Irish writer and scholar who began her studies at Oxford at the age of 31. After two years in Paris as a fellow at the American University Women’s Club, she became a literary sensation in the late 1920s and 1930s.  Waddell first gained acclaim with The Wandering Scholars (1927), an exploration of 12th- and 13th-century goliards, followed by the widely praised Beasts and Saints (1934) and The Desert Fathers (1936). Her fascination with the medieval scholar Peter Abelard and his tragic love story with Héloise inspired her only novel, the celebrated Peter Abelard (1933). Though her life was tragically cut short by Alzheimer’s disease, Waddell’s contributions to literature and medieval studies continue to be rediscovered and celebrated.

  5. Sculpting New Faces for WWI Soldiers: Anna Ladd (1878 – 1939)

    Sculpting New Faces for WWI Soldiers: Anna Ladd (1878 – 1939)

    Anna Ladd was an unconventional American sculptor whose work bridged art and humanity. During World War I, she founded the Studio for Portrait Masks under the American Red Cross, crafting face masks that restored both the appearance and self-esteem of soldiers disfigured by war. This remarkable contribution earned her France’s prestigious Legion of Honor. While she is best known for her wartime efforts, Ladd lectured widely as an outspoken theorist on art and sculpture. In a 1925 public address, she declared: “Sculptors, to be any good at all, have to touch all sides of life. They must have the physical strength of a blacksmith, the skill of a carpenter, the precision of a dentist, the knowledge of anatomy and psychology of a physician. They must have the soul of a poet and the creative energy of a god.” More on Anna Ladd: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/studio-portrait-masks-1918-1920 The Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators.

  7. Unearthing Prehistoric Art: Mary Boyle (1881 – 1977) and Suzanne de Saint-Mathurin (1900 – 1991)

    JAN 6

    Unearthing Prehistoric Art: Mary Boyle (1881 – 1977) and Suzanne de Saint-Mathurin (1900 – 1991)

    Two remarkable women brought humanity’s oldest stories etched in stone to light. Mary Boyle and Suzanne de Saint-Mathurin, pioneers in prehistoric art, were key collaborators of the renowned Abbé Henri Breuil. Together, they explored and documented ancient petroglyphs, spanning Europe’s caves to Africa’s cliffs. Boyle’s vivid illustrations and writings, combined with de Saint-Mathurin’s groundbreaking discoveries—such as the Magdalenian frieze in France’s Rhone Valley—transformed our understanding of prehistoric art. Both scholars, Boyle from Scotland and de Saint-Mathurin from France, resided at Reid Hall in the 1930s as members of the University Women’s Club. The Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators. The website is regularly updated with new insights and information.

    Explorations from Montparnasse to the Arctic: Elizabeth Taylor (1856 – 1932)

    Reid Hall’s Elizabeth Taylor was not the Hollywood icon, but a trailblazing 19th-century explorer. Scientific curiosity and unshakable independence led Taylor from her birthplace in Columbus, Ohio, to the bohemian heart of Montparnasse, to the icy wilderness of the Arctic. She chronicled her adventures in Alaska, Iceland, Norway, and the Faroe Islands through articles and sketches, published in various periodicals. Taylor lodged at Reid Hall in the early days of the Girls’ Art Club, focusing on wildlife documentation, and was later exhibited in shows as part of the American Woman's Art Association.
