About the Item
Fredrick Hart “Light Whispers” Acrylic Sculpture, 1985
Signed in Script 'Hart' copyright 1985 & Inscribed AP XXV/LX
Frederick Hart (American, 1943-1999)
Frederick Hart's captivating 1985 acrylic sculpture, "Light Whispers," a testament to the artist's mastery in exploring translucency's ethereal effects on light and shadow. Signed 'Hart' in script, with the copyright year 1985, and inscribed AP XXV/LX, this piece embodies Hart's mastery in sculpting translucent forms.
The sculpture explores the interplay between light and shadow through multiple renditions of a nude woman, each iteration revealing varying degrees of transparency. Some depictions portray her enshrouded in mystery, while others exhibit her with exquisite detail, exposed to the viewer's gaze.
Frederick Hart is considered one of the world's foremost figurative sculptors. "Light Whispers" showcases Hart's fusion of classical sculpting techniques with innovative use of acrylic , infusing a timeless subject with a modern aesthetic. This work not only highlights Hart's artistic legacy and represents a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary artistry.

Frederick Hart
A sculptor and stone cutter in the Classical* style, Frederick Hart was an apprentice at the National Cathedral in Washington DC and there learned about sculpting and stone cutting. Then his big break of public recognition came when he won a competition to design the facade of the Cathedral, which incorporated his thirteen year masterpiece of the Creation, a 21 X 15 foot bas relief*. He also designed Three Soldiers, realistic in style, for the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in DC to contrast with the abstraction of Maya Lin's Vietnam Memorial. Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in South Carolina, Frederick Hart was an opponent of most contemporary art, thinking it motivated by political rather than aesthetic reasons. As a proponent of Realism*, he was made an honorary member of The American Society of Classical Realism Guild of Artists. Just before his premature death from lung cancer in 1999, he built his 17,000 square-foot dream home "Chesley," on 250 acres of land in Virginia. This mansion was intended to be an artists' retreat to nourish traditional, classical values and refute modernist* trends that he said allowed anything to be called art. He endured several legal battles including the use of his Three Soldiers on a souvenir without his permission and a lawsuit with Time-Warner over the "demonizing" of his creation scene.
