About Florence Fuller in brief
Florence Ada Fuller was a South African-born Australian artist. Originally from Port Elizabeth, Fuller migrated as a child to Melbourne with her family. She trained with her uncle Robert Hawker Dowling and took classes at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School. In 1892 she left Australia, travelling first to South Africa, where she met and painted for Cecil Rhodes, and then on to Europe. Between 1895 and 1904 her works were exhibited at the Paris Salon and London’s Royal Academy. In 1904, Fuller returned to Australia, living in Perth. She became active in the Theosophical Society and painted some of her best-known work, including A Golden Hour. In 1927 she began almost twenty years of institutionalization in a mental asylum, however, and her death went without notice. After her death, information about her was frequently omitted from reference books about Australian painters and knowledge of her work became obscure. Her paintings are held in public art collections including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Art. Gallery of Western Australia, and Australia’s National Gallery. Fuller was awarded a prize by the Victorian Artists Society for best portrait under twenty-five in 1889. She died in Sydney in 1946 and was the inaugural teacher of life drawing at the School of Fine and Applied Arts, established in 1920 by the New South Wales Society of Women Painters.
