Bearden Trivia

How did Romare Bearden pronounce his first name?

According to friend and collaborator Albert Murray, Bearden's name was pronounced with three syllables, not two, with a strong accent on the first and a weak accent on the last. Phonetically: Roe-muh-ree.

Before Bearden was born, his mother had a neighbor whose name she liked--a man named Mr. Romare.
