Bearden really practiced DuBois’ views on double consciousness. He blended African sculpture with cubism. He former pointilism and applied it to sad American subjects. He portrayed the urban and rural landscapes.
Still, I have some questions. Danny Glover reads quotes from the artist. Bearden was not a Harlem Renaissance painter. He died in the 1980s. He was around after talkies. They expose films of him in color. It’s not like he was Shakespeare. Surely they could have shown clips of him speaking for himself. They never say he was calm or had problems in front of the media.

Mr. Bearden was so light-skinned that I didn’t know that he was African American until well into the documentary. Eventually they present his parents and his mother looked white. One interviewee described him as “light-skinned” but then the subject is never brought up again. Why not? Malcolm X spoke often about what it was like to be light-skinned and have a white grandparent. Bearden had a light complexion but his subject matter always covered people of African descent in rich ebony and cocoa hues. One could ask why he never portrayed subjects of his contain complection.
I’m obvious that Bearden was a terrific artist. But anybody with a pair of scissors can manufacture a collage. In a similar vein, I wonder why David Hockney is praised when anyone can hold the photographs he has. I wish the documentary explored on a deeper level what was so special about Bearden’s collages or what else did he fabricate besides collages.
