Romare Bearden: Resonances

Romare Bearden: Resonances will highlight modernist artist Romare Bearden and his relationships with other artists in the Saint Louis Art Museum’s collection.

Exploring the varied ways Bearden served as a friend and mentor to his contemporaries, the exhibition will also spotlight Summertime, which contains many themes that Bearden highlighted in his work such as African American life, jazz and the city. This is the first time in more than 20 years that Summertime will be on view.

Drawing entirely from the Saint Louis Art Museum’s collection, the exhibition features other artists such as Norman Lewis and Sam Middleton, as well.
