Cr8tive Notebook #9




I found this picture while online looking for new pictures for my home. The simplicity of this painting made it stand out for me. I love the color of this painting. The focal point for me was the white "skater" surrounded by the sea of deep red.

Romare Bearden’s Tomorrow I may be Far Away is from the Pop Art Movement. This movement emerged in the 1950’s in the United States and England and was widely recognized by the mid 1960’s. Pop art (sometimes called Neo-Dada) is a style of art which seeks its inspiration from commercial art and items of mass culture (such as magazines, newspapers, comic strips, popular foods and brand name packaging) to portray elements of popular culture. Some popular Pop Art artist include Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenbert, Roy Lichtenstien and Andy Warhol. Painted in 1967, Bearden wanted to reflect on his childhood memories of Mecklenburg County as a young African American boy.
