Romare Bearden

About as Black as Jack Black (and about as fat too).

Romare Bearden (born September 2, 1911, died March 12 1988 of cancer) was a lulzy artist who thought he was black. Probably never had trouble getting a cab in his life.

He was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but then moved to New York City, where he spent most of his days. He attended De Witt Clinton High School, then went on to New York University, but his education was interrupted because he played in the Negro League. He got started doing political cartoons, then some cubism. Then he went off to World War II, and when he came back, started making crappy collages.

Collages

Looks like it was made by a 3 year old.

During the 60s he became very interested in Civil Rights and the plight of his people. So, he protested white oppression the only way he knew how: by cutting pictures out of magazines and gluing them on paper. But it turned out people loved his little collages, and he made millions. Despite his porkiness, he died in 1988 not from a heart attack, but from bone cancer.
