Note du spécialiste
‘Bearden’s work acknowledges the vitality of the American crafts tradition of quiltmaking, rug-looping, and decoration that was a lively art before the appropriation of its ideas by the Cubists… His collages knowingly embrace every influential art movement of the century. The accomplished cut paper forms evoke Matisse, the unsubtle juxtaposition of screwball images hilariously recalls Richard Hamilton, his autobiographical underpinning echoes the structure of so much contemporary art’
