街道

Romare Bearden American

Not on view

这幅壁画大小的生动画面是向罗马勒·比尔登居住的纽约市哈林街区致敬。这一排矮房（廉价出租公寓、教堂、理发店、酒铺等）以他在132 街和133 街之间的莱诺克斯大道上画的素描为基础。不同的小品细节描绘出街上和楼内（可通过窗户和剪去的外壳看到）的人们在工作、休息和玩耍，为人际关系和社会仪式提供了生动的，有时甚至是幽默的观察。比尔登创造性地运用了拼贴画，并以捉摸不定的方式变动大小和比例来增强表现力，这都恰到好处地捕捉了都市人生的活力和复杂。虽然比尔登使用的图像和材料是简单的，但他给画面注入了意味深长的层层含义，指向其他艺术和文化，比如文艺复兴时期的绘画、基督教圣像画、立体主义和非洲部落雕塑等。
