Romare Bearden Three Folk Missions Three Folk Musicians 1967

Three Folk Musicians is one of Romare Bearden's most recognizable pieces. For nearly 50 years is has been seen in top museums.  The collage was seen in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1971 exhibition “Romare Bearden: The Prevalence of Ritual.” Afterward, seen in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, University of California Art Museum in Berkeley, North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh.Pasadena Art Museum, and High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The collage was featured as the cover for Sharon F. Patton’s “African-American Art". I enjoy the colors used for the instruments and the background colors really stand out.

Lito Mayo

Lito Mayo was a Filipino  artist since the 1970's. I love the creativity in this painting,  Self-Portrait of Lio Mayo made in 1981. He was not known as a Dada artist but they considered his work to be apart of the Dada movement. He was offically known as a  Filipino graphic artist, print-maker, avantegarde poet, social activist, sculptor, satirist, and art professor. He spent a lot of time in museums working on art pieces before moving into his offical career as an artist.
