Community, childhood, and the promise of education come together in School Bell Time, a reproduction of Romare Bearden’s evocative collage composition. Figures gather around a schoolhouse beneath a deep blue sky, while bold profiles, patterned clothing, and richly layered colors bring the scene to life. The composition rewards close looking, weaving individual figures into a larger story of shared experience and belonging. Presented in a wood-toned frame with layered rust-red and blue matting, this expansive work makes a striking focal point. Format: Posthumous limited-edition reproduction after Romare Bearden, with facsimile signature. Edition: 775/950, as marked Collection: Donated from the collection of Rev. Dr. Gregory Robeson Smith. Included: Framed artwork as pictured.
