The Prints of Romare Bearden


Don’t miss this upcoming print exhibition at
The Taft Museum of Art:
Impressions and Improvisations,
The Prints of Romare Bearden

 January 27 – April 29, 2012

“A twentieth-century master of
 collage and printmaking, Romare Bearden (1911โ€“1988)
 was also arguably that centuryโ€™s most influential
 African American artist. This is the first exhibition 
to focus on Beardenโ€™s printmaking alone. 
It includes 75 vividly colored graphic worksโ€”etchings,
 engravings, aquatints, lithographs, 
collagraphs, screenprints, photo projections,
 and monotypesโ€”all created over a span of thirty years.
 The exhibition also features some 
working print plates and proofs that
 reveal the artistโ€™s creative process.”
