Abstract
-
After transitioning from lush abstractions to figurative canvases in the early 1960s, Bearden depicted Black subjects in classical settings and compositions. He combined his flattened figures with intricate patterned dress and semi-abstract, fragmented blocks of color, giving mythological weight to his scenes. He’s most famous for his collages, which he composed from magazines, advertisements, textbooks, and more.
