In the early years of the 20th century, a great outburst of creativity changed the way African Americans were seen by their fellow Americans, and even changed the way African Americans saw themselves. Writers, musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, and political activists in urban centers all over the countrybut especially in the Manhattan neighborhood of Harlemwere struggling to gain new political and social freedom, and were expressing themselvestheir rich cultural roots, their poor social conditions, their passion for libertywith a newly won artistic freedom. Background and Beginnings The roots of the Harlem Renaissance reach back into Reconstruction, when Southern blacks tried, through the Freedman's Bureau and innumerable local efforts, to claim the education, economic opportunity, and political enfranchisement that slavery had so long denied. Their extraordinary initial success, however, called forth harsh reprisals from Southern white reactionaries, who used local and state laws to strip away the rights of their black neighbors, and resorted to violence to squash resistance. The result was a long, slow exodus of many young, creative, ambitious African Americans to the cities of the North.

ART Ages- African Art in Summary "The African continent has produced a great diversity of art from prehistoric times to the present day. In many instances, art production has been related to ritual or tribal ceremonies, as well as serving more secular decorative functions, but it is not always easy to determine the function of a particular work. Zaire, Luama River, Zimba, Bango Bango, or Hemba people Mask Late 19th-early 20th century Ivory 8 7/8 x 4 1/8 x 2 7/8 in. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas It is also problematic to label as 'art' the productions of African craftspeople who frequently considered their work as an essential part of secular or religious life. In many tribes, the artist had a high status, but the artist would not necessarily have been the equivalent of the western fine artist who relied on patronage or the marketplace to regulate his or her production. With these strictures in mind, it is possible to isolate different areas and different practices of African art. From c 7000 BC rock drawings include representations of animals and hunters. From the beginning of tribal differentiation, tribal art has become a way of isolating one tribe from another, and tribal art can take the form of scarification, body painting or sculptural masks used in religious ceremonies.

A frican American art This article was excerpted from Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience , Second Edition. Edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Kwame Anthony Appiah. Oxford University Press, April 2005. By Richard J. Powell The Harlem Renaissance The social and political anxieties that many African Americans felt just after World War I (1914-1918) were alleviated, in part, by mass migrations to the urban North. Northern cities offered a respite from the repressive attitudes and mandates of the old Southern order. The new racial compositions of cities like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago, and Saint Louis, in combination with a heightened social consciousness and a seemingly unbound desire for leisure and escapism, conspired to help create the cultural phenomenon known as the New Negro movement. Part social engineering and part spontaneous expression, this Harlem Renaissance (as the cultural movement later became known) was realized by a mix of American movers and shakers: social reformers, political activists, cultural elites, progressives in public policy and education, and, of course, artists. Although each of these constituencies had its own reasons for promoting African American achievements in the literary

HARLEM RENAISSANCE February 20, 1998 An exhibit in San Francisco explores the artistic and cultural legacies of the 1920s and 30s. "(Harlem) is romantic in its own right. And it is hard and strong, its noise, heat, cold, cries and colours are so. And the nostalgia is violent too; the eternal radio seeping through everything day and night, indoors and out, becomes somehow the personification of restlessness, desire, brooding." Nancy Cunard, Harlem Review Questions asked in this forum: Why did the Harlem Renaissance use exotic, sensual images to celebrate African-American culture?

HARLEM RENAISSANCE February 20, 1998 An exhibit in San Francisco explores the artistic and cultural legacies of the 1920s and 30s. Questions asked in this forum: Why did the Harlem Renaissance use exotic, sensual images to celebrate African-American culture? How did the Harlem Renaissance affect the politics leading up to the Civil Rights Movement? With so many economic and cultural hurdles, why was Harlem Renaissance art so optimistic in tone? What was it about Paris that allowed African-American artists to achieve recognition there? Why did the Harlem Renaissance end? The Online NewsHour asks: Why did the artists of the Harlem Renaissance use primitive, sensual images and music to celebrate black culture when African-Americans have often been stereotyped with images of the primitive and the exotic? Was this ever addressed or challenged by the African-American community? Professor Richard Powell responds: One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding the art and culture of the Harlem Renaissance is that the African American artist was somehow above and beyond the primitivist mindset: that the exoticizing of Africa, the exploring of sexual themes, and the interrogation of the black demimonde was primarily something that white artists and intellectuals were engaged in. Yet if one studies the historical record and the cultural artifacts from the period, we see many African American artists delving into these problematic themes and subjects. Why? Because (among many other reasons) many of these artists saw this approach as underscoring their modernist credentials.

Please stop back to see the new design and materials. W hat was the Harlem Renaissance? "From 1920 until about 1930 an unprecedented outburst of creative activity among African-Americans occurred in all fields of art. Beginning as a series of literary discussions in the lower Manhattan (Greenwich Village) and upper Manhattan (Harlem) sections of New York City, this African-American cultural movement became known as "The New Negro Movement" and later as the Harlem Renaissance. More than a literary movement and more than a social revolt against racism, the Harlem Renaissance exalted the unique culture of African-Americans and redefined African-American expression. African-Americans were encouraged to celebrate their heritage and to become "The New Negro," a term coined in 1925 by sociologist and critic Alain LeRoy Locke. One of the factors contributing to the rise of the Harlem Renaissance was the great migration of African-Americans to northern cities (such as New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.) between 1919 and 1926. In his influential book

HARLEM RENAISSANCE LOCATION Harlem is a subdivision of New York City located in northern Manhattan bordering on the Harlem and the East river. It was Dutch settlement of Nieuw Harlem established by Peter Stuyvesant in 1658. History Of This Period With the dream of making a better life for themselves, African Americans during 1914-1918 migrated North from the rural South. Harlem was a popular place to settle. As a result of this, Harlem became an sophisticated artistic and literary center. "In his magazine Crisis , W.E.B. Dubois urged racial pride among African Americans, and writers, many living in Harlem, began producing fine original works about African American life. Their work constituted a fresh, new subject that attracted white readers and publishers."
