“If you're any kind of artist, you make a miraculous journey, and you come back and make some statements in shapes and colors of where you were.” One of the many beautiful quotes from Romare Bearden, who would have been 106 on this day.

Bearden is best known for his collages and screenprints portraying the daily lives and struggles of African Americans. This work, part of the large “Black Odyssey” series, depicts Ulysses’s wife Penelope sitting at a loom as suitors vie for her attention.
