New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1972 . First edition. Folio. 230 pp. Profusely illustrated from Bearden's artwork, plates, some folding, many in color, portrait frontispiece. Bearden's visual idiom involves montage and collage elements in combination with forms and styles that echo those of African sculpture, and is orchestrated by a deft manipulation of mass and volume. Signed by Bearden on a front endpaper. Very good. Silver-stamped navy cloth, color
