Description	"In Romare Bearden (1914-88) Harlem found its own history painter, an artist who won dominion over form by studying the Old Masters, and then reinvigorated it with the jazzy rhythms pioneered in painting by Stuart Davis, the master of Americanized Cubism. By the end of the sixties, Bearden had come into his artistic own with a collaged combination of found, drawn, or painted images and an interlocking, syncopated mix of flat, brightly colored, rectangular planes. An unforgettable, signature style, it helped universalize memories of black America while also rekindling memories of 20th-century modernism's sources in African tribal art." (Excerpt, p.376)
