ROMARE BEARDEN (1911 - 1988)
Macbeth.

Color screenprint, circa 1975. 610x355 mm; 24x14 inches, 1- to 4- inch margins. Proof. Signed in ink, lower right. A very good impression of this very scarce print.

Provenance: gift from the artist to the current owner, Philadelphia.

We have found no other record of this print at auction or in a known collection. This print is very likely one of only a few proofs, and not editioned. Bearden contributed this image for the poster for the New Federal Theatre's production of Macbeth in 1977. Not in Gelburd/Rosenberg.
