Romare Bearden

A few years ago I took a mix-media class about the artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988).  He was known as the master of collage and his art focused on African American culture and issues. Reflecting on Black History Month I wanted to bring attention to this talented artist. The first image is by Bearden.  I created collages of my own with a similar style to Bearden. The female image I used in the third picture is from Rapunzel by Mequitta Ahuja. - JM
