Views & Voices is a series of brief and personal responses to works of art and film selected by BAMPFA staff who work in different departments . . . some, by UC Berkeley students as well. At a time of distance, these commentaries are designed to bring you closer both to individual people behind BAMPFA and to individual works in our collections. 

We hope you'll enjoy hearing these personal views. Here, Claire Ittner discusses Romare Bearden’s 1973 work, "Final Study for Berkeley - The City and Its People".
