Romare Bearden

Romare Bearden “The Family 1941” “The Family 1941” is a photo is painted by Romare Bearden. Luckily, I had a chance to see this interesting picture in a book during high school. This picture is a great example to demonstrate the dark time when America had to face Great Depression. The couple and their baby must pass through a rough time, which is demonstrated by their faces emotion. When we just read the name of the picture, we can interpret this picture is about traditional American families back then. Unfortunately, this painting illustrates a poor family which I can see the father felt so hopeless about his wife and kid’s future. The father’s face looks so gloomy, dull, and anxiety. This suffering time did not only happened to this…

I can relate this meaning of art as a collage. These can be words, pictures, and/or drawings. An artist can put in whatever they feel is necessary to add more or less to the collage. There are famous collage artists such as Romare Bearden…

Choosing three art pieces for the project was an interesting process. I logged onto the google art project and just started browsing. When I came across one that I was drawn to I saved it. And after a while I looked through the images and picked out three. The first one that stood out to me was Romare Bearden’s “Of The Blues: Carolina Shout”. Bearden made this collage piece in 1974. It stands 37.5 inches tall and 51 inches wide along with 1.5 inches in depth. I was drawn into this image but…

Romare Bearden was a phenomenal artist of his time; his art displayed his upbringing and places he visited throughout his life. In his collage piece, Tomorrow I May Be Far Away (1966/1967), “Bearden reflects on his childhood memories of Mecklenburg County” (WELCOME TO THE ROMARE BEARDEN FOUNDATION). The title of this particular art piece comes from a blues song, “Good Chib Blues”, “and like the blues, this monumental collage by Romare Bearden derives its power from repetitions, multiple…

monsters that I named were in the path of Odysseus to prevent them from going back to their home land. I like this painting because it has a wide variety of color to it and shows Odysseus being a brave and courageous soldier.

Cohen. There was a time when black artist were not even aloud to attend nor perform in American theatres. However during the Harlem Renaissance , African American artwork undeniably attracted all races. The Studio Museum in Harlem collects various work of African-American artists. It acts as a network for artist locally, nationally, and internationally for work that has been inspired by black culture. Since its opening in 1968, it has earned recognition for its necessary role in promoting the…

The play Fences by August Wilson, and Romare Bearden’s painting Two, but not Two, both share similar stylistic devices to serve a common purpose. At the end of the play Fences, the character Rose, is talking to her son, Cory, about Troy, the protagonist in Fences. In Rose’s monologue she explains Troy’s character and how she met him. Rose’s monologue shares similarities with Romare Bearden’s painting Two, but not two. Romare Bearden, was one of Wilson’s major influences in writing along with…

American Dream, millions of other U.S. citizens are inspired every day. (Golschein, Feloni, 12 Immigrants Who Came to America With Nothing and Made a Fortune). The splatter and collage styles of Jackson Pollock and Romare Bearden both portray vibrant colors to present a collective image. Through the use of vivid colors and textures, these American artists represent an identity that is unique to their country. Pollock’s work is intense, strong, and at times, chaotic. Many of Pollock’s more…

Today I will be comparing and contrasting two different artworks. The first one is by Romare Bearden, his art work is call She-Ba. The other artwork I have decided to write about is by Enguerrand Quarton and the name of the artwork is called Coronation of the Virgin. I will be comparing and contrasting some formal components about each art work, such as scale, material, line, color, tone, and composition. It is good to take notice and observe these different elements about the artwork. It helps…

It looks like they are in the kitchen of their house because we can see a piece of bread and the salt holder but the place looks small to fit all of them at the same time. Bearden doesn’t show a lot of the house in the picture. He was focused in showing the characters of the picture rather than the place they are at. The house doesn’t seem to receive a lot of light from outside or inside. The lighting of the picture is dark, there is nothing giving the picture life or brightness. There is…
