RICHMOND BARTHÉ (1901 - 1989) Black Majesty.

Item Details

Description

RICHMOND BARTHÉ (1901 - 1989)
Black Majesty.

Bronze with a brown patina, 1969. Approximately 610x260x133 mm; 24x10¼x 5¼ inches. Incised signature at the base edge. Cast at the foundry of sculptor Herzl Emanuel in Rome.

Provenance: acquired directly from the artist; private collection, Rome.

Illustrated: Margaret Vendryes, Barthé: A Life in Sculpture, fig. 529; p. 177 (another cast).

This beautiful, tall sculpture is truly a majestic figure, and a scarce example of a large female bronze by Richmond Barthé. Margaret Vendryes remarked how this striding figure "harkens back to Blackberry Woman to a time of Barthé's newly discovered talent with clay" but with a regal air of remove. " In 1969, Barthé left Jamaica and moved to Florence, Italy. He lived in Europe until 1975 when he returned to the US. Vendryes p. 177.
