THE BARB - 5 P' The ART SCENE- ProFi'Ie of ^ ^ A SCulpTOR | Marlene Dietrich - 1969 Leatherman - 1967 Lonesome Cowboy - 1970 Che rub By Peter Thomas Ha mpton a nd Frie nd s - 1974 Throughout the ages the beauty of the human figure has been celebrated by painters, sculptors, and artists of the world. From rudimentary drawings etc hed in prehistoric caves, to the drawings and sculp - hires of Michelangelo and Rodin, to the contempor ary painting of the Cruci fixion by Salvador Dali which depicts a sensual and half-clothed Christ, to the realistically cruel ca mera-eye of the late Diane Arbus, the male has been interpreted in every art- style* from the convention al to the neo-impression istic. In the realm of art to day a new talent has emerged and his name is Wayne Hampton. He is a quiet, shy and unprepos sessing man with very impressive credent ials. A Graduate in Fine Arts from the University of Iowa, he has worked at the Art Students’ League of New York, New York University, the American Art School, and the New School. Mr. Hampton has also studied intensively the art techniques prominent in South America and Eu rope. In his attempt to survive until the stature of his work was recog nized, he has helped create animated film characters, designed the ater sets, and worked long and arduous hours to master the techniques of charcoal, oil, watercolor, mask-making, though his first love has always been sculpture, and it is in this media that he has found his ultimate expression. His sculpted figures range from impressions of fa mous personalities todim- Alice a nd The Du cb jl&s. a X972 pled cherubs, head- and - shoulder pieces to a series based on the ALICE IN WONDERLAND char acters, and many more in terpretations. Anyone who has seen his ALICE AND THE DUCHESS knows that a new and important art ist has risen on the American scene. His work has been exhibited in many cities throughout the Unit ed States. Less than a year ago Mr. Hampton experimented with ideas for nude male figures, and in that time has executed two excel lent works glorifying the beauty ot the male body. His first piece JONATHAN embodies the masculine perfection of the male ani mal, while his FRIENDS encapsulates the essence of the ephemeral combi nation of innocene and lust that only two young men in love can offer each other. Though these con temporary masterpieces are original renditions, Seated Nude - 1968 Damien - 1971 Mr. Hampton has been per suaded to release exact and detailed copies in sturdy Hydrocal, and in dividually hand-finished by the artist himself.
