Spotlight on the Collection
The Train
Romare Bearden
1975
Etching, aquatint and photo engraving
Gift of the Rachel Maxwell Moore Art Foundation purchased in the summer of 2015.
African-American artist Romare Bearden
(1911-1988) is one of the most important
artists of the 20th century, notable for his
skill in working with a variety of media such
as collages, watercolors, oils, and prints.
Visual metaphors from his childhood in
Charlotte, North Carolina are represented in
many of his works, including The Train.
In 1975 Bearden produced the print The
Train, and at that time it was considered
one of the ten most important prints. Creating this piece, Bearden reused a 1964 collage, but also added new textures and colors by using mesh screens and photography to generate the photogravure (etching) plate. After doing
this, Bearden cut the image so colored areas could be inked separately and reassembled for the printing
process.
In this print, the train is a small black-and-white detail in the upper left. Bearden said that trains "could
take you away and could also bring you to where you were. And in the little towns, it's the black people
who live near the trains." Bearden's childhood home was located near a train trestle, and trains became a
key symbol and recurring image in his work.
