"Dark Nude, " Sculpture of Male Nude, Richmond Barthé, Harlem Renaissance Artist
By Richmond Barthé
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully sculpted and finished by America's most important Black sculptor working in a realist vein in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, this unique, very fine nude demonstrates Richmond Barthé's abiding focus on the male figure. Although the artist sculpted both Black and Anglo figures, this sculpture clearly depicts an African American man, slender and beautifully proportioned, wearing nothing but a necklace and amulet. Although he was a part of the Harlem Renaissance and had many important friends and clients -- including Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison...

"Seated Figure, " Important Photograph of Male Nude by Barthe
By Richmond Barthé
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This original black and white photograph of one of Richmond Barthé's rare, little-known sculptures was taken by the famous studio of Morgan and Marvin Smith, who located on West 125th Street next to the renowned Apollo Theater. The Smith brothers moved from their native Kentucky to New York in the early 1930s, and proceeded to establish a studio that brought together almost every major figure in the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, mentoring artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Gwendolyn Knight, Selma Burke, Ernest Crichlow and Robert Blackburn. The Smiths captured the night life of Harlem, including musicians and actors such as Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Eartha Kitt, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Count Basie, Ethel Waters, Billie Holiday, Hattie McDaniels, Zora Neal Hurston, Step n' Fetchit, Pearl...
