Romare Bearden - Calm Sea



Calm Sea (1987)

This painting captured my attention out of all of Romare Bearden's artwork. The name Calm Sea says a lot about the painting right away. When I look at this painting I actually feel calm. I believe the mixture of colors as well as the location can reflect to the mood of quiet and peaceful. What stood out to me was the face painted on the left corner, which I didn't realize after 10 minutes of staring at it. The two things that I like the most is the black woman figure and the birds, it adds a lot to the overall painting.
