Romare Bearden: Pictures of America

Tying exhibitions to works in our collection, the museum will present a spotlight exhibition on the work of renowned artist Romare Bearden. The complex and colorful art of Bearden (1911-1988) is autobiographical and metaphorical. Rooted in the history of Western, African, and Asian art, as well as in literature and music, Bearden found his primary motifs in his personal experiences rooted in the life of his community.
