Thank You…F.U.M.L. (1978)

A vibrant collage with layered faces, instruments, and abstract forms, evoking a sense of gratitude and musical celebration.

With bold collage and vibrant improvisation, Bearden layers memory and movement in Thank You…F.U.M.L., a tribute to the richness of Black musical traditions. The cryptic acronym likely references the artist’s own inner circle or cultural codes, offering a personal yet communal expression of gratitude. The overlapping textures, instruments, and faces invite viewers to feel the syncopated rhythm of celebration and remembrance.
