"Classic Nude Torso, " Bravura Nude Male Figure in Pale Gray Marble, circa 1900
About the Item
One of the most boldly and superbly carved nude male figures in carved marble we have seen outside a museum, this classic depiction of the figure shows the man with one arm up and one down, and one leg thrust in front of the other. The artist has captured the solidity and musculature of the figure, giving him a heroic quality -- as if Hercules were readied for battle against the Hydra. This piece was probably made by an Italian sculptor in the early 20th century, and is carved from a block of pale grey marble. The figure is poised on an iron rod above a block of travertine. (Dimensions include base; sculpture itself is 23 inches high by 10 inches wide.).

- "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
