Title: | Romare Bearden: Abstraction | Date: | 6/25/2022 - 9/18/2022 | Address: | Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98104 | Location: | Seattle, WA | Hours: | 11:00am - 5:00pm | Cost/Cover: | free | Web Page: | https://fryemuseum.org/exhibition/7618/ | Contact Info: | 206 622 9250 |
Details: | Featuring some fifty-five paintings, works on paper, and collages, Romare Bearden: Abstraction is the first exhibition to fully explore the artist’s significant body of abstract work created between 1952 and 1964. Exhibited with success at the time of their execution, these artworks are little known today. Nonetheless, they directly inform the figurative collages for which Bearden is now best known and cement the artist’s influential place within the New York avant-garde of the 1950s–60s. Romare Bearden is recognized as one of the most creative and original visual artists of the twentieth century and had a prolific career that spanned nearly fifty years. He was also a writer, social worker, and an active arts organizer: he was the first art director of the Harlem Cultural Council, a prominent African American advocacy group, and was involved in the founding of The Studio Museum in Harlem.
