"The Art of Romare Bearden" was produced by the National Gallery of Art on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title. The film is narrated by Morgan Freeman with readings by Danny Glover. Romare Bearden's art captures the diversity and richness of his life; with roots in North Carolina, Bearden migrated North to Pittsburgh, and Harlem, and later lived in the Caribbean. These locales form the basis of Bearden's collages and paintings, whose style exhibits a unique blending of cultural influences from Harlem, Europe and Africa.
