Ellison’s eloquent descriptions of Bearden’s art reflect not only the language of the down-home blues (and certain darker examples of the spirituals)30 but also the forms of the new post–World War II jazz called bebop: 31 the fragmented lines and dissonant harmonies of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, or Thelonious Monk. As with the boppers,

Bearden’s meaning is identical with his method. His combination of technique is in itself eloquent of the sharp breaks, leaps in consciousness, distortions, paradoxes, reversals, telescoping of time and surreal blending of styles, values, hopes and dreams which characterize much of Negro American history. Through an act of creative will, he has blended strange visual harmonies of the shrill, indigenous dichotomies of American life, and in doing so has reflected the irrepressible thrust of a people to endure and keep its intimate sense of its own identity.32
