Artist: Richard Howard Hunt (African-American, b. 1935)
Richard Hunt is well-known for his welded and cast steel, aluminum, copper, and bronze sculptures. He sculptures are usually created to represent plants, humans, and animal forms. Hunt prefers to be called a “Midwestern sculptor,” and is one of the few well known African American sculptors who still resides and works in his hometown.
Richard Hunt is also an accomplished printmaker who prefers lithography. Many of his lithographs reflect the same elegant abstract forms seen in his metal sculptures. Some of his lithographs were studies for his outdoor pieces and smaller sculptures.
