I had never heard of Romare Bearden before this assignment. After I opened the website on my computer, I was amazed by what I saw. His artwork is so original and unique. One of my best friends here at college is from Harlem, NY. We looked at the website together and she explained how accurate he made the streets look. It was clear that he took his time, took in every detail he could in order to produce a beautiful piece of artwork.
I thought that the website did a great job of portraying Romare Bearden as a person. The guided tour and the meet the artist tab were great. They both made me understand him to see why the streets of Harlem were so important and inspiring to him.
I loved the way he took some real images and implemented them into his artwork. It made them very complex and different. It explains that he does this because it allowed him to inject elements of reality and current issues into his artwork. I think this is an outstanding idea because, as the viewer, I can tell that the real images are the part of the paintings that he is extremely passionate about.
