Kenneth Hari
sketches a portrait of artist, Salvador Dali, in 1980.
Kenneth
Hari, of New York, believes in the tradition of
portraiture to preserve and
record people who have contributed to Mankind, whether it be
in the world of Science, Entertainment, Art, Business, etc.
The notable poet W. H. Auden wrote of Kenneth Hari:
"Your Portraits should serve as a unification of Man, not as
decorative ornaments. Continue your portrait work, it is
excellent."
It is in
this vein, so aptly stated by W. H. Auden, that Kenneth Hari
continues his craft as a master portraitist. Among the
many collections which represent Kenneth Hari's work are: the
Vatican, Rome, Italy; the
Museum of Modern Art,
Barcelona,
Spain; the National Gallery, Sophia, Bulgaria; the National
Portrait Gallery, London, England; as well as numerous
business institutions, university and private collections.
Kenneth Hari has achieved artistic recognition for his ability
to capture the essence of character of his portrait subjects.
It is a task he undertakes with consummate ability.
Kenneth Hari's newest creation is a series of crystal acrylic
sculptures,
a medium he helped pioneer. One sculpture is "Beatrice",
adopted from the legend of poet Dante's doomed love. There are
two others in this series, "Prophet" and "Moses".
According to poet Paul Roche, Hari is "Americas Best Kept
Secret." |
