| Summary: | Between 1952 and about 1963 Romare Bearden created a large body of abstract watercolors, oil painting, and collages. Some titled, some not, they range in height from over seven feet to just under three inches. Exhibited with success at the time of their execution, these artworks are little know today, yet they directly inform the collages for which he is now best known and that he begain creating in the mid-1960's, such as Melon Season. This essay is not intended to be biographically comprehensive but rather to establish a chronology for the period during which Bearden produced the abstractions, to fill in missing factual information, and to bookend this decade of his production, front and back. Romare Bearden : Abstraction tells the story of a historically neglected but extraordinary and critically important period of time and body of work. -- from author. |
