About the Item

"Mother and Child" by Frederick Hart is an acrylic figurative sculpture of a woman and her baby numbered 43/150. Inspired by the birth of his own child, Frederick Hart masterfully celebrates one of the most enduring and primordial of all human emotions – that of maternal love. A woman gazes tenderly at her innocent, sleeping baby. Her lovely countenance reveals her deep maternal desire to nurture, protect, and love the infant lying peacefully in her arms. She experiences one of the joys of life in this intimate moment of silent serenity. Hart embodied the energy and experience this joy of life entails by creating this intimate moment of silent serenity. The drapery contributes to the exquisite and subtle movement of the work. The use of clear acrylic resin, unlike marble or stone, light is absorbed and reflected by clear acrylic permitting the sculptor to penetrate mere surface beauty.

"Light Whispers", Frederick Hart, Acrylic Sculpture, 17x12x5 in., 182/350, white
By Frederick Hart
Located in Dallas, TX
"Light Whispers" Dimensions: 17" x 12" x 5" Medium: Clear Acrylic Resin Edition 182/300 Frederick Hart's "Light Whispers" is the perfect name for this lucite sculpture that studies translucency's impact on the interplay of shadow and light. The nude woman subject is repeated several times, with varying degrees of revelation. In some iterations, she is shrouded in mystery, while other representations show her on full display with remarkable detail. Thanks to his impeccable eye for detail and technical precision, Frederick Hart is considered one of the world's foremost figurative sculptors. His classical techniques make for timeless, traditional works, but the innovative and modern use of lucite as a material help modernize the work. Frederick Hart's "Light Whispers" is signed by the artist and includes a gallery certificate of authenticity. It is from an edition of 300 and the current gallery retail price for the piece is over $16,000. About Frederick Hart As one of America’s greatest representational artists, Frederick Hart left a lasting and unique mark in the world of modern sculpture. Born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1943, he studied at the University of South Carolina and after protesting alongside black students during the Civil rights movement, he moved to Washington D.C. to continue his studies at the Corcoran School of Art. Fascinated with the human figure and the classical approach, he started developing his career in 1966 as a stone carver apprentice at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Leaving the Cathedral in 1971, Hart started his own studio practice but had little success in the first years. In 1974, he was awarded the project by the Cathedral to create a contemporary interpretation of The Creation, an event that would change his life. Soon, Hart’s career took a turn for the better, and in the upcoming decades, he rose to national prominence, becoming a government art advisor in 1985 and receiving the prestigious Henry Hering...
