Abstract
On December 15, 1978, four longtime friends, Romare Bearden, Alvin Ailey, Albert Murray, and James Baldwin, gathered at the home of the art publisher, Hugh McKay. From the filmmaker's point-of-view, the location was ideal: a beautiful apartment with a wood burning fireplace; high ceilings; a balcony overlooking the living room (for high angle shots); a magnificent collection of original works by the likes of Chagall, Picasso, Miro, and Vassarely; and Bearden's new prints from his "ODYSSEY" collages. In addition, the colors and textures of the apartment were perfect extensions of Bearden's paintings.
