Mother and Child (1972) by Romare Bearden

This is Mother and Child (1972) by Romare Bearden. Bearden has other artworks titled "Mother and Child" but this one stood out the most to me. Compared to his other works that are named the same, this had the most composition to it. He used solid colors, as well as patterns to create the piece. The mother's eyes caught my eye. It's as if she is staring straight at the viewer and about to tell some story. Personally, I feel like you can get a very wise personality coming just from the piece. Also, there is a mother holding her child, while holding a bamboo that separates another family walking out into the distance. It somewhat seems as though that the two people in the back is the mother and child in foreground.
