MONUMENT FOR A TOMB

IDA MATTON]

Among the works of this artist are “Mama!” a statue in marble; “Loke,” a statue; “Dans les Vagues,” a marble bust; “Funeral Monument,” in bronze, in Gefle, Sweden; and a great number of portrait busts and various subjects in bas-relief.

At the Salon des Artistes Francais, 1902, she exhibited four portraits, and in 1903, “Confidence.”

MAURY, CORNELIA F. Member of St. Louis Artists’ Guild and Society of Western Artists.  Born in New Orleans, Louisiana.  Pupil of St. Louis School of Fine Arts and of Julian Academy, under Collin and Merson.  At the Salon of 1900 her picture, “Mother and Child,” was hung on the line.

Miss Maury has made an especial study of child life.  Among her pictures are “Little Sister,” “Choir Boy,” “Late Breakfast,” and “First Steps.”  The latter picture and the “Baby in a Go-Cart” have been published in the Copley Prints.

“Cornelia F. Maury is most successful in portrayals of childhood.  Her small figures are simple, unaffected, with no suggestion of pose.  They convey that delightful feeling of unconsciousness in the subject that is always so charming either in nature or in artistic expression.  The pastel depicting the flaxen-haired child in blue dress drawing a tiny cart is exceedingly artistic, and the same may be said of a pastel showing a small child in a Dutch high-chair near a window.  A third picture—­also a pastel—­represents a choir-boy in a red robe, red cap, and white surplice, sitting in a high-backed, carved chair, holding a book in his hand.  Miss Maury really has produced nothing finer than this last.  It is a most excellent work.”—­The Mirror, St. Louis, April 10, 1902.
