1901 — 1989 • American Sculptor

Key Works: The Blackberry Woman, Feral Benga, African Dancer, The Boxer

Biography: Barthé was a core figure of the Harlem Renaissance whose bronze sculptures celebrated the sensual beauty of the Black male body. Though he never publicly identified as gay, his intimate depictions of male dancers and athletes were radical affirmations of queer Black desire in an era of intense homophobia and racism. He worked without formal training in sculpture, yet his work was collected by the Whitney and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Poster Design: Leaping male dancer in mid-air in warm bronze, Harlem gold, and deep brown. Rhythm, musculature,
and African decorative patterns in bold geometric celebration.

• Acid- and lignin-free and made to last.
• The natural finish enhances vibrancy and depth.
• Textured matte surface that enhances depth without losing clarity.
• Handmade wooden frame from Italy.
