This artwork, "Circe"was created by Romare Bearden in 1977. Bearden was a collage and watercolor artist that used his artwork to tell stories about black culture and the civil rights movement. This is a collage of Circe, the goddess of magic; she has the ability to heal and kill a man. This piece of art is part of a series Bearden created to retell the story "The Odyssey"; where all the characters are represented by African Americans. I chose this piece because it represents a strong, powerful African American women, and I feel like there should be more representation of them in art.
