Harry Carmean Date of Birth August 5, 1922 Date of Death February 3, 2022 City of Death Santa Bárbara Harry Carmean, one of America’s premier figurative artists, has recently passed away at age 99 from natural causes on February 3, 2022. He had stated a few days before that he had accomplished everything he wanted to do in life, that he was ready to go, and he left this world completely at peace. Harry enjoyed a long, productive life and touched many people’s lives along the way. In his twenties he pursued a singing career and was being scouted for the movies, but with the start of WW2, he joined the army and served in France and Germany for the duration of the war. Before returning home, he studied at L’Ecole de Beaux Arts in France which introduced him to the world of fine art. Back in the U.S., he began his studies at Art Center College of Design where he met Lorser Feitelson, who was the source of Harry’s unique knowledge of the old masters which gave his paintings and drawings their distinctive look. Harry went on to teach figurative art at Art Center College of Design for 43 years and has influenced thousands of students. In the 1960’s, Harry continued to teach and paint and was featured regularly on the award-winning television show “Feitelson on Art”. He also started a family and had four children, Siobhan, Helen-Margaret, Kathlin and Brendahn, and later a grandson, Joseph. In 1975 two books were published on both his paintings and his drawings. In the 1980, his portrait of the band members of Black Sabbath was featured on their Heaven and Hell album. In the 1979 Harry met artist Miriam Slater with whom he began collaborating on a series of commissions and murals through the 1990’s, while he continued to teach at Art Center and paint. In 1995 Harry was commissioned by the royal family to do a portrait of King Abdulaziz...

Donald Harcourt De Lue is a 20th-century sculptor of monumental works in the Realist style. "His sculpture demonstrates artistic links to both Greco-Roman and late Renaissance sculptors," writes sculptor Jonathan L. Fairbanks in the "American Figurative Sculpture Catalogue" by Katherine Lane Weems for the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. "He emulated the exuberant gestures and energetic composition such as those found at Pergamum. The mature Michelangelo especially inspired De Lue to compose his figures with mannerist proportions, emphasized with highly articulated musculature. However, by combining these older influences with the ideas and techniques acquired during his French tour (taken after World War I where he was influenced by the work of the romantic sculptor Emile Antoine Bourdelle), De Lue developed his own synthesis. As he admitted, "Although my work is traditional, it is a tradition of my own'." De Lue, a child prodigy who apprenticed in his teens to American and British figurative sculptors, served as an assistant to American portrait artist, Bryant Baker...
