Richard Garbe
Richard Garbe is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Richard Garbe spent his life shaping stone in London, where he carved everything from war memorials to small decorative figures. He had a knack for turning hard marble into something that looked soft and alive, almost like the breeze could ruffle it. The statuette Primavera in 1926 feels like spring about to walk off its pedestal—if you squint, you can almost see her hips shift. If you like that kind of quiet movement in sculpture, tap Primavera and see how Garbe made marble sway.
