Fuller, GEORGE

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 5: Friday to Humanitarians, p. 29

Fuller, GEORGE, an American artist, was born in Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1822. As early as 1857 his work attracted attention, and during the last years of his life his pictures were warmly admired by many for their richness of tone and peculiar handling, though they never appealed to the popular taste. He died 21st March 1884. An exhibition of his paintings was held in Boston in that year, and a costly memorial work on his life and genius was published there in 1887.
