Bearden’s Visual Language, Reinterpreted
Romare Bearden brought fragments of image, memory, place, music, and history together in dynamic compositions. His work explored Harlem, the American South, city life, family, ritual, migration, and jazz—creating layered narratives that remain central to American art.
In this licensed collection, Vontélle references visual elements associated with Bearden’s practice, including strong color relationships, geometric pattern, and collage-like layering.

Vontélle’s current Romare Bearden collection includes four styles:
The Block II 1972
Carolina Shout 1974
City Midtown Canyon
Black Manhattan
The collection is designed, presented, sold, and fulfilled independently by Vontélle Eyewear.
