- Important "Acrobat" Counter-Relief of Male Nude by Richmond BarthéBy Richmond BarthéLocated in Philadelphia, PAThis highly important and unique intaglio or counter-relief panel by Richmond Barthé is a wall sculpture that also served as the original carved relief for castings of the "Acrobat" (one of which is available from us). This piece retains its original label, signed by Barthé, indicating its importance as the original sculpture mold. Without doubt America's finest Black sculptor working in the 1930s-1950s, Richmond Barthé created an extraordinarily important body of work, with a clear, abiding focus on portraits and the male figure. Although he was a part of the Harlem Renaissance and had many important friends and clients, including Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison...Category

- "Seated Figure, " Important Photograph of Male Nude by BartheBy Richmond BarthéLocated in Philadelphia, PAThis 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...Category
