Romare Bearden African Royalty, ca. 1964 Graphite, watercolor, ink, photomontage and paper collage Hand-signed by artist, Hand signed on the top right corner recto. Also bears original information card from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in die-cut window verso of frame, as well as the exhibition label from the Nassau Museum of Art Unique Framed This majestic early Romare Bearden graphite, watercolor ink, photomontage and paper collage - "African Royalty" - was recently included in the acclaimed exhibition, "Songs Without Words: The Art of Music, November 20, 2021 – March 6, 2022" at the Nassau Museum in New York. (see attached installation photographs) It is from the Estate of Alma LeBrecht and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts. (LeBrecht was a longtime drawing instructor at the MFA). The verso of the work bears the original documentation card from the museum noting this is Study No. 1 for a proposed lithograph, and indicates the proposed measurements. "African Royalty" was created during the same period as Bearden’s celebrated work “Watching the Good Train Go By” – a photomontage – i.e. a collage that includes photographs. According to the National Gallery of Art, “In Watching the Good Train Go By, Bearden used photographs to create cut out pictures of trains, faces, and arms, combined with patterned papers, creating a busy scene. Bearden’s art was influenced by his love for jazz and the blues. Music was often the subject of his work, and it also influenced his way of working. One distinguishing feature of jazz is improvisation...Bearden advised a younger artist to “become a blues singer—only you sing on the canvas. You improvise—you find the rhythm and catch it good, and structure as you go along—then the song is you…” According to press materials from Michael Rosenfeld Gallery, which in 2011 hosted a critically acclaimed exhibition of other Bearden collages, the artist believed that “art is made from other art: ..” This idea is literally present in the act of collage-making—taking images, colors, and forms out of one context, altering them, and juxtaposing them with other pre-existing images, colors, and forms to create something new. But it is equally apparent in Bearden’s celebration of jazz and blues, the inspiration he drew from African art, and his passion for telling the stories and representing the cultures of ordinary black Americans...” In a 2011 New York Times review, critic Roberta Smith wrote, “Romare Bearden (1911-88) spent more than 30 years striving to be a great artist, and in the early 1960s, when he took up collage in earnest, he became one. As historical shows go, this one feels unusually of-the-moment. For one thing the improvisational cross-fertilizing of art mediums that Bearden helped pioneer via collage is more and more the norm; for another, paper has probably never been more popular as an art material, for work in both two and three dimensions. .. Bearden took up collage sometime in the late 1950s, after a relatively fallow period during which what little painting he made was mostly abstract. A trip to France and Italy with his wife in 1961, to see many of the museums and churches he had visited 10 years before while studying painting on the G.I. Bill of Rights, may have reconnected him to figuration. In 1963 he helped organize Spiral, a group of African-American artists interested in finding new ways to portray black life in America. Bearden suggested that the group collaborate on collage, an implicitly collaborative medium. This didn’t happen, but evidently he found his métier in the process of demonstrating the possibilities. By then Bearden was in his early 50s, a late bloomer...

Bearden grew up in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City and attended New York University where he received a degree in mathematics. Following graduation, Bearden turned his attention to art, pursuing further studies with George Grosz at the Art Students League. The artist served in the United States Army from 1942 to 1945. After leaving the Army, Bearden used funds from the GI Bill to travel to Europe for six months to study art history and philosophy at the Sorbonne. During this trip, Bearden had the opportunity to meet Henri Matisse, Georges Braque and Joan Miro, all of who had a strong influence on his artwork. Bearden’s work on canvas and collages expressed the complexities of rural Black America. “My intention is to reveal through pictorial complexities of the life I know,” he said. He integrated scenes from his childhood in North Carolina and from New York City, including many rituals and social customs. Another theme throughout his work was music. Bearden grew up surrounded by musicians and loved jazz and blues. Romare Bearden’s artwork can be found in numerous permanent collections around the country including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Retrospective exhibitions of Bearden’s art have been held by The Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte; the Museum of Modern Art; the Detroit Institute; and the Studio Museum in Harlem.

"Early Morning at Pompey Gut" is an impressive watercolor collage work by Romare Bearden and is an exquisite example of his Caribbean works. The Pompey Gut in question was a fishing ground on the island of St. Martin, a Caribbean island Bearden spent sixteen of his winters and summers at with his wife Nanette.

Unframed the watercolor is 11 x 8 inches. The work has a very established provenance which is documented on the back and is confirmed as a Romare Bearden work in the book "Romare Bearden 1970-1980". The work is signed by the artist on the right side. Romare Bearden was born in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1911. He was the son of Richard Bearden, a pianist, and Bessye Johnson Bearden, a journalist and activist. His family was part of the Great Migration north and his parents settled in Harlem where their home became a meeting place for Harlem figures such as Duke Ellington and Fats...
