THE STORY, IN BRIEF
The Museum of Modern Art’s advance fact sheet presents Romare Bearden’s collage as an exploration of everyday Black life, from music and worship to family meals. Guest director Carroll Greene assembled fifty-six works, including enlarged collages and The Block, an eighteen-foot mural accompanied by sound. The historical announcement also records planned presentations in Washington and Berkeley.
