Romare Bearden, Profile/Part I, The Twenties: Mecklenburg County, School Bell Time , 1978, collage on board, 29 ¼ x 41 in., Kingsborough Community College, The City University of New York. Photo found on the Internet In the above photo, I see what appears to be a woman holding a baby and directly across from them is a man. In the background, I see a group of people sitting down observing the both of them. In the background, it looks like a countryside home. I chose this piece because it reminds me of my childhood.
