  Richard Morris Hunt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1846 Hunt was the first American architect to attend the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and was regarded well enough to supervise work on the Louvre under Napoleon III.
Hunt's greatest influence is his insistence that architects be treated, and paid, as legitimate and respected professionals equivalent to doctors and lawyers.
One of his 1859 students at the Tenth Street Studio, William R. Ware, was deeply influenced by Hunt and went on to found the first two university programs in architecture: MIT in 1866, and Columbia in 1881.

 Muppet Central Articles - Tributes: Richard Hunt
Hunt (or any of the other creative forces of the Henson team), for some strange reason, more than any of the other performers, there's something about Richard Hunt that makes me feel like I have known him well.
Hunt died in 1992, when by this time, and to a greater extent every passing year, this attitude is demeaning, deplorable, and in all honesty, an insult to his life.
Rather, the greater testimony to Hunt's life and accomplishments would be to let the character live on, to acknowledge that Richard created such a special being that's capable of outliving its performer, one the audience wants to see survive.

The formal execution of this sculpture reveals that the artistic direction of Hunt was established early in his career: mythological references, elements of surrealism and a wings motif were major influences from the beginning.
This exhibition at the William A. Koehnline Gallery explores Hunt’s use of the wings motif from early works to the present.
In his earliest works, Hunt represented wings for their actual function of flying, but over time, they evolved into abstract elements, appearing primarily at the top of a sculpture and resembling bird’s wings, branches, horns or flames that erupted from a narrow base.
