Bearden (1911–1988) was a prominent African American artist often described as the consummate jazz painter, known for his innovative collages that explored themes of Black American culture, history, and personal experiences. This publication reexamines Bearden’s life and work in the context of jazz, tracing the musician’s impact from the artists’ earliest oil paintings to his iconic collages. In 1981, Bearden created nineteen collages that the artist called his “Paris Blues,” or simply “Jazz,” series. Conceived as pages for an oversized book that would be a response to the Hollywood movie Paris Blues (1961)—though featuring Harlem and New Orleans along with Paris—the series has been little known until now. Here the wildly colorful illustrations are set alongside Bearden’s encounters with iconic jazz musicians, clubs, and cities. Examined for the first time in depth, the Paris Blues series makes a major statement on the relationships between visual art, jazz music, and urban spaces. The book also includes poignant photographs of Bearden and musicians in the 1950s–70s, such as Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong.

This book highlights the highly creative work of Barceló (b. 1957) with more than a dozen new paintings and a selection of recent ceramic objects. Born in Mallorca, Barceló’s mixed-media paintings, sculptures, and ceramics often feature relief-like textures and expressive forms. His fascination with the natural world has inspired his richly textured canvases that recall the earthly materiality of Catalan painters such as Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró, as well as compositions that study the effects of light and the ever-changing colors of the sea. The book includes a selection of new paintings from the corrida series, depicting the circular space of the bullfighting ring in vibrant colors. His ceramic practice includes his distinctive forms molded by hand then painted in vivid colors. Excerpts from Barceló’s recent autobiography, De la vida mía (Of My Life), bring together his notebooks, paintings, photos, stories, and objects from the artist’s various studios.
