Sculptor Richmond Barthi became noted for his life-like art work.
Richmond Barthe, Famed Sculptor, Dies In Calif.
Renowned sculptor Richmond Barthe, 88, who was heralded for his realistic renderings of figures from Black history, entertainers and religious subjects, died suddenly at his home in Pasadena, Calif.
Born in Bay St. Louis, Miss., Barthe studied at the Art Institute of Chicago. He turned to sculpture early in his career and became well known in the art
world after completing several public works, including a bust of Booker T. Washington, the Black educator. The art piece was for the Hall of Fame on campus of what is now Bronx Community College.
Barthe also made sculptures in bas-reliefs for the Harlem River Housing Project and Harlem River Drive in 1937. He also made portrait busts of such celebrities as Sir John Gielgud and Gypsy Rose Lee in addition to a sculpture of the American eagle on display in front of the Social Security Building in Washington, D.C.
He designed several coins that are still in circulation in Haiti and in 1953 completed a 40-foot equestrian statue of Jean Jacques Des-salines, leader of the 1804 revolt that won control of the former French colony from Napoleon's forces, for Port-au-Prince.
Within recent years, many of Barthe's works were donated to Tustin University in Mississippi by his friend, actor James Garner. Survivors include a sister and a brother.
As a young artist, the late sculptor became known for his busts of historical figures such as scientist-educator Booker T. Washington (rear)
