Tomorrow I May Be Far Away by Romare Bearden https://www.nga.gov/artworks/119052-tomorrow-i-may-be-far-away
Much like Edith Johnson’s 1929 classic song “Good Chib Blues,� Romare Bearden’s intricate collage tells a story through repetition and rhythm. Here, clippings in shades of green, blue, tan, and brown create a powerful composition based on the artist’s childhood memories of rural North Carolina.
