"Romare Bearden—FUCK!" said Henry Taylor. A conversation about collage inevitably led to Romare Bearden, whose mastery of composition and color belie the true complexity of the process of creating collage. Through the aggregation of found imagery, Bearden creates a striking and iconic image of black folks that speaks honestly of our everyday experience in America. For his unparalleled contribution to American art, we should continue to celebrate Romare Bearden.  ♥
