Romare Bearden in Black-and-White: Photomontage Projections 1964

Gail Gelburd and Thelma Golden

Whitney Museum of American Art 1997

Romare Bearden is one of my favorite artists, and I don’t have nearly enough books of his work. But that’s a story for another day. This exhibition catalog from the Whitney Museum focuses on his photomontage work from 1964. Unveiled just a year after the March on Washington, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Bearden’s collages express idealism and discontent, fear and joy, and are filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of life.
