1 Day Left: Romare Bearden Show
Posted by jessica
 A show our Manhattan readers won’t want to miss is Romare Bearden: City Lights at DC Moore Gallery—and if they don’t see it by tomorrow, they will miss it (it closes Sept. 27). The artist is fresh in our minds as well; he was featured in our “Meet the Masters” column in the August issue of the magazine. Here’s what that gallery has to say about the exhibition: “The exhibition features 20 vibrantly expressive watercolors, some with paper collage, that capture the rhythm and energy of New York City. Painted between 1979 and 1986, they literally burst with color that flows across the surface of compact, highly charged compositions. Several of the works on view are from a series of cityscapes done for the opening credits in John Cassavetes’ 1980 film, Gloria.” (Pictured: Broadway, c. 1979-80, by Romare Bearden)
