ROMARE BEARDEN (1911 - 1988) The Annunciation (The Visitor).
Collagraph, photo projection and color monoprint on thick wove paper, circa 1970. 300x400 mm; 11 3/4x15 5/8 inches.
Provenance: acquired directly from the artist; private collection, New York; thence by descent to the current owner.
This is an experimental print from the artist's long series of works with this image, beginning with both the collage and photoprojection of 1964, Prevalence of Rituals: Tidings. Another similar version of this print, with the collagraph-printed landscape reversed, is in the collection of Jerald Melberg Gallery, and is illustrated in From Process to Print: Graphic Works by Romare Bearden, fig. 36, p. 69 and The Art of Romare Bearden, fig. 21, p. 39.
