Romare Bearden is considered one of the most important and
innovative artists by historians and fans alike. His primary
medium was the collage – using fabric, magazine clippings,
paper, painting and other materials to form a new composition
of disparate component parts. Kyle Coleman discusses Bearden’s
life and career, his involvement in the formation of the artists’
group Spiral, and the artistic, social and political environment
of Philadelphia in the 1960s and ‘70s.
