Inspirations Harlem Renaissance- cultural movement in the 1920s called the “new negro movement” made up of black writers, intellectuals, visual artists and musicians African American history Jazz and Blues music (Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald) He grew up about 50 years after the civil war (which ended in 1865) slavery was abolished. Blacks were gaining more and more rights and were speaking out about their culture Beraden made work about many different subjects in many different places but today we’ll focus on his work in Harlem, New York.

Collage Materials Photographs Magazine pieces Colored paper Foil Art posters Romare Bearden collected many different materials from popular sources, such as magazines and newspapers that depicted blacks in a negative light. He repurposed these materials and turned them into collages that celebrated black culture.

Art in Activism Romare Bearden did not agree with the how the media portrayed blacks, so he took matters into his own hands. He created his own imagery painting a different picture, one that praised the black community and celebrated its culture, and shared it with the world through his art. Bearden used his artwork and writing to speak up for a variety of social issues and empower black artists
