Spring Way 1964

"Spring Way," a 1964 collage by Romare Bearden, showcases the artist's signature style of using fragmented imagery to depict urban life in Harlem. Through the juxtaposition of found materials, Bearden evokes the vibrancy and complexity of the neighborhood, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow, and the presence of both geometric and organic forms. This work reflects Bearden's commitment to capturing the essence of African American experience, using art to elevate the everyday into a realm of beauty and significance.
