One of the most important and underappreciated visual artists of
the twentieth century, Romare Bearden started as a cartoonist
during his college years and emerged as a painter during the 1930s,
at the tail end of the Harlem Renaissance and in time to be part of
a significant community of black artists supported by the WPA.
Though light-skinned and able to "pass, " Bearden embraced his
African heritage, choosing to paint social realist canvases of
African-American life. After World War II, he became one of a
handful of black artists to exhibit in a private gallery-the
commercial outlet that would form the core of the American art
world's post-war marketplace. Rejecting Abstract Expressionism, he
lived briefly in Paris. After he suffered a nervous breakdown,
Bearden returned to New York, turning to painting just as the civil
rights movement was gaining ground with the 1954 Brown v. Board of
Education and the Montgomery bus boycott. By the time of the March
on Washington in 1963, Bearden had begun to experiment with
collage-or Projection, as he called it-the medium for which he
would ultimately become famous. In An American Odyssey, Mary
Schmidt Campbell offers readers an enlightening analysis of
Bearden's influences and the thematic focus of his mature work.
Bearden's work provides an exquisite portrait of memory and the
African American past; according to Campbell, it also offers a
record of the narrative impact of visual imagery in the twentieth
century, revealing how the emerging popularity of photography, film
and television depicted African Americans during their struggle to
be recognized as full citizens of the United States.
Since 1953, the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft has awarded
the ars viva prize to outstanding young artists based in Germany.
The award honours work that demonstrates a distinct language of
form and an awareness of contemporary issues. This year's award
includes exhibitions at Brucke-Museum, Berlin and the Kai Art
Center, Tallinn, Estonia. The ars viva prize 2022 will be awarded
to Tamina Amadyar (*1989), Lewis Hammond (*1987) and Mooni Perry
(*1990). Text in English and German.
