His name should be called along with people like Pollock—as he was clearly one of the greatest American artists of the twentieth century.”—Derek Walcott\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Bearden’s Odyssey is a powerful exercise in coherence—a bringing together of text and image, a negotiation of identities. The collection opens new paths by which to explore Bearden’s most emblematic paintings. It will bring new audiences to both poetry and visual art.”—Jennifer Benka, executive director, Academy of American Poets","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51038265180503,"sku":"9780810134898","price":21.21,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780810134898.jpg?v=1750939706","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/beardens-odyssey-9780810134898","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
