Carolina Morning 1972

"Carolina Morning" is a 1972 lithograph by the prominent African American artist Romare Bearden. This work showcases Bearden's signature style, which blends elements of cubism, collage, and African-American folk art. The print depicts a scene of daily life in the American South, with a group of figures interacting in a domestic setting. The use of geometric shapes and fragmented forms creates a sense of depth and movement, while the muted color palette evokes a sense of quiet contemplation. This lithograph, like many of Bearden's works, is a testament to the artist's keen observations of African American life and culture.
