Romare Bearden, Uptown Looking Downtown, 1965 Modern Unused Postcard ART1280 Romare Bearden was an African-American artist. He worked with many types of media including cartoons, oils and collages. "A preeminent artist of his generation, Romare Bearden (1911-1988) lived and worked during a period of extraordinary ferment in American society and American art. The diversity of his oeuvre--including works in collage and photomontage; watercolor, oil, and monotype; designs for the stage and book illustrations; and edition prints--reflects the excitement and turmoil of his time. Based on memories and experiences of the rural South, the urban North, and the Caribbean, his subjects included folk and jazz musicians, street scenes, domestic interiors, and landscapes. As a humanist and an intellectual, Bearden was deeply impassioned about the people, issues, and ideas that shaped the world.
