Romare Bearden spent much of his last two decades on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. During his final and most productive years this tropical experience influenced his art. His work became more painterly employing watercolor with collage resulting in what can be called “collage paintings”. In his later years, watercolors and collage with increased prominence produced a personal iconic imagery of the Caribbean, North Carolina and Harlem.
