Romare Bearden made this collage called "in the garden". This piece was made in 1979. Bearden made this piece to connect in the past and present day African American women. Slavery was banned at this point, so African Americans did not have to slave in the crops anymore. This African American woman is gardening her vegetables. The difference is that she is gardening out of wanting to, she isn't force to crop like African Americans use to in the past. I like this collage. It is very feminine. Bearden chose light colors and showed the curves of the woman gardening.
