Romare Bearden: Collage of Memories

52 pp. | Abrams | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-4589-4 $$17.95
(4) 4-6 This presentation of Bearden's life as reflected in his later, post-civil rights work does, sometimes, strike a chord. But the book is overdesigned, with the pictures framed in a Mondrianesque grid of color-blocks that echo the colors of each in turn--a disservice to Bearden's powerful imagery. Some fine pictures and some effective biographical connections, but also a good many missteps large and small. Chronology, source notes. Bib., glos.
