Items related to The Romare Bearden Reader
The Romare Bearden Reader brings together a collection of new essays and canonical writings by novelists, poets, historians, critics, and playwrights. The contributors, who include Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, August Wilson, Farah Jasmine Griffin, and Kobena Mercer, contextualize Bearden's life and career within the history of modern art, examine the influence of jazz and literature on his work, trace his impact on twentieth-century African American culture, and outline his art's political dimensions. Others focus on specific pieces, such as A Black Odyssey, or the ways in which Bearden used collage to understand African American identity. The Reader also includes Bearden's most important writings, which grant readers insight into his aesthetic values and practices and share his desire to tell what it means to be black in America. Put simply, The Romare Bearden Reader is an indispensable volume on one of the giants of twentieth-century American art.

About the Author:

Review:
“The Romare Bearden Reader is for all those—both in and outside the academy—who continue to be enchanted by Bearden's art and are eager to see and learn more about the work of this tremendous artist. This volume is the definitive Bearden anthology.” (Margo Natalie Crawford, author of Black Post-Blackness: The Black Arts Movement and Twenty-First-Century Aesthetics)
“Robert G. O'Meally has curated an astonishing array of commentary on the work of one of the twentieth century's most innovative artists, the inimitable Romare Bearden. Whereas Bearden's status as one of the African American tradition's greatest artists has long been secure, this collection is indicative of a welcome surge in interest among scholars, critics, and biographers in Bearden's life, works, and place in the canon. O'Meally has done us a great service in assembling some of the most thoughtful reflections on the work of one of the geniuses of modernism.” (Henry Louis Gates Jr.)
