Barth says, ?My work is finished mentally before I ever go to the material.? He has a photographic memory and rarely asks an actor to pose. He prefers to study his subjects night after night from a chair in the orchestra during the performance. He believes an actor lives on the stage, but in the studio he is lokely to become wooden.
Barthe planned for 15 years to do a statue of ? Christ. He wanted to be technically good enough and be sure he knew enough about his subject. The result is a six-foot bronze statue for the Church of St. Jude in Montgomery, Alabama and Barthe thinks this is his best work.
In 1953 Richmond Barthe returned to his first love ? painting. Now in his Jamaica home set high on a hill overlooking the Caribbean he is no longer obliged to work madly to meet a deadline. Artist Barthe plans to devote the rest of his life to serious painting.
Barthe says, ?I am the only one to limit myself.
All knowledge that ever was, still is. None of the old masters had knowledge that is not available to me.
I want to paint something that will live.?
This faith has overcome every barrier and Bay St. Louis is proud to call him their most famous citizen.
