  • Analysis Of At Connie's Inn By Romare Bearden

    1471 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Romare Bearden’s artwork At Connie’s Inn, the style of the piece is in the form of abstraction because it was a collage piece that would usually involve different types of materials pasted onto an artwork. In this collage, Bearden turned the nightclub scene into postmodern feel of unpredictable repetitions and juxtapositions of shapes and patterns in his art that created an unexpected rhythm. When I look at the collage’s composition, majority of the figures and items were unified as a whole by being clustered into different groups in order to make the scenery busier. The only people that were not smooshed into a group were the bassist, drummer, dancer, and the black figure in front of the piano which are located on the left side of the piece.
