Black Artist


Alright its been awhile and Im starting to go through withdrawl so here is my long awaited post. I am deciding to highlight an older black artist by the names of Romare Bearden. Born in my city and raised in NY this artists used collage prints primarily depicting the African American South during the mid 20th century. Here is a piece called "The Calabash". This piece currently sits in the library of Congress so next time you find yourself there be sure to check it out in person.
