Important "Acrobat" Counter-Relief of Male Nude by Richmond Barthé
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This 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...
