About Richmond Barthe'

Harlem Renaissance superstar and Bay St. Louis native, Richmond Barthé was a painter and a sculptor and he rose to fame during the Harlem Renaissance. He is one of the true stars of Bay Saint Louis and Mississippi. Barthé had enormous talent, but he also ground his work in a profound love of humanity. He said, "All my life I have been interested in trying to capture the spiritual quality I see and feel in people, and I feel that the human figure as God made it, is the best means of expressing this spirit in man. Barthé is best known for his portrayal of Black subjects. The focus of his artistic work was portraying the diversity and spirituality of man. Born: January 28, 1901 in Bay Saint Louis, Barthé moved north in pursuit of training as an artist and eventually became associated with the Harlem Renaissance. He was one of the first African American artists to focus thematically on the lives of African Americans.

The Harlem Renaissance was a period of U.S. history marked by a burst of creativity within the African American community in the areas of art, music and literature. Centered within New York City's Harlem, the Harlem Renaissance began roughly with the end of World War I in 1918 and continued into the mid-1930s.
