Richmond Barthe trill do no more pieces like ?Rug Cutters? (left), but plans to start on his oils again
By EVELYN REID GRIFFITH
A FAMED SCULPTOR for 20
.years, Richmond Barthe says he never intends to carve again. Sculpture has provided the money and freedom for him to settle down in Jamaica and concentrate on his dream of a lifetime?learning to paint.
Born in Bay St. Louis. Miss., in 1901, this talented Negro sculptor (who pronounces his name Bar-TAY) has statues in six nationally known museums, including the Metropolitan and the Whitney, as well as museums and private collections in 10 foreign countries.
His rise to fame as a sculptor. despite his original ambition to become a painter, started during his last year at Chi-
cago Art Institute. In 1928 he modeled in clay the heads of two friends, as an experiment.
