Cómo la emblemática colcha de Bearden ejemplifica su arte complejo y su rico legado

Patchwork Quilt (1970) de Romare Bearden (1911–88) es un collage monumental que demuestra el dominio del artista en su medio característico. Adquirida por el Museo de Arte Moderno el año en que se realizó, la obra se ha convertido en un hito en la carrera de Bearden. Pero su camino para crearlo, abrazar el collage y hacer un trabajo que aborde los detalles de la vida negra en Estados Unidos de manera específica y ampliamente accesible, fue largo.

Los inicios de la carrera de Bearden se caracterizan por una amplia experimentación con materiales y estilos visuales, así como por importantes acontecimientos de la vida que lo alejaron de la práctica de las artes visuales. En este último volumen de la serie MoMA One on One, la curadora Esther Adler explora la búsqueda de Bearden de su voz artística, ilustrada por la amplitud de diferentes obras en la colección del museo. Una lectura atenta de Patchwork Quilt, sus fuentes y su materialidad enfatiza aún más el compromiso inquebrantable del artista tanto con su arte como con su comunidad, una combinación que lo ha llevado a ocupar un lugar central en el arte de mediados del siglo XX.

About the Artist

Romare Bearden

Romare Bearden (1911 – 1988) was an American artist, author, and songwriter. He worked with many types of media including cartoons, oils, and collages. Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Bearden grew up in New York City and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from New York University in 1935.

Bearden's early work focused on unity and cooperation within the African-American community. After a period during the 1950s when he painted more abstractly, this theme reemerged in his collage works of the 1960s. The New York Times described Bearden as "the nation's foremost collagist" in his 1988 obituary. Bearden became a founding member of the Harlem-based art group known as Spiral, formed to discuss the responsibility of the African-American artist in the civil rights movement.
