The Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum always offers compelling temporary exhibitions from historical to cultural to fine art from around the world.
Richmond Barthé held a significant role in the Harlem Renaissance, emerging as a prominent African American sculptor whose artistic contributions left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of the era. His masterful sculptures celebrated Black identity, portraying the beauty, dignity, and humanity of African American subjects at a time when their representation was scarce in the art world. Barthé’s works challenged societal norms and stereotypes, offering a counter-narrative through his profound artistic expression. Through his art, Barthé not only captured the essence of Black life and culture but also paved the way for greater recognition and acceptance of African American artists within the broader artistic community, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to inspire.
