THIS WEB PAGE IS DEDICATED TO CARL AND MILES. BOTH OF YOU WARMED MY SOUL AND LIT MY LIFE WITH YOUR ANGELIC WONDERMENT. YOU WILL BE MISSED. "I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me." ~ Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man (1952) MY art is an extension of my emotional and mental landscapes, inspired by music and expressed through a jazz age aesthetic. For me, jazz represents individuality and improvisation. From this philosophy, I paint the way jazz makes me think and feel. I am drawn to the lonely, melancholy side of jazz, which I express through my interpretation of the somber musician, the lonely individuals with their vices to get them through another night, the relationships affected by uncertainty and misunderstanding. Rather than paint the celebrity jazz musicians and vocalists, I create from what I imagine an individual feels and experiences who has not experienced fame or economic success. I try to capture the moments that ignite the passion that motivates these individuals to continue to express themselves through their music, despite the struggle. I am equally captivated by the hope that jazz represents through its improvisation and history of transcending racial or cultural limitations. I paint that hope through my application of rich color, ink drawn detail, and jazz age motifs. My paintings are still shots of individuals living their lives as the improvisation of jazz music...the highs, the lows, and the moments in-between. ~Szugye

(from Hans Arp, "Dadaland," 1948). "The exhibition of the new art from Europe dropped like a bomb. Before the people could gain their breath, some prune-fattened authorities of the old regime at once hurled the pits and stones of their wrath and contempt against the cubists." (from an Oscar Bleumner article in Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work "In all these [modern] movementsin literature, in art, in musicthe post-war theme is similar: abandon tradition, experiment with the unknown, change the rules, dare to be different, innovate, and above all, expose the sham of western civilization."

This period, extending from roughly to , was expressed through every cultural medium— visual art dance music theatre ... history and politics . Instead of using direct political means, African-American artists, writers, and musicians employed culture to work for goals of civil rights and equality . Its lasting legacy is that for the first time (and across racial lines), African-American paintings, writings, and jazz became absorbed into mainstream culture. At the time, it was known as the "New Negro Movement", named after an anthology of notable African-American works entitled The New Negro and published by philosopher Alain Locke in Contents History of Cultural Revolution Historical Roots of Harlem Development of Harlem as an African-American Community Emerging Black Identity ... edit History of Cultural Revolution edit Historical Roots of Harlem In Dutch settlers formally incorporated a village on the northern tip of Manhattan Island , and christened it Nieuw Haarlem (New Haarlem) after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands .

Cocktails, As the Jazz Age dawned in the early 1920s, African American artists, writers, and musicians flocked to the neighborhood of Manhattan called Harlem. This "Mecca of the New Negro" soon became home to a cultural revolution, known first as the "New Negro Renaissance" and later termed the "Harlem Renaissance." Repercussions of this cultural revolution, which embraced white as well as black artists, were felt around the world. Its sphere of influence extended from the United States to Europemost notably in Jazz Age ParisAfrica, and the Caribbean. The rich artistic legacy of the Harlem Renaissance ranges from the paintings of Aaron Douglas and Jacob Lawrence to the music of Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith to the writings of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. During the boom years of the 1920s, Harlem was a center for fashion, entertainment, and nightlife for African Americans escaping the segregation, racial persecution, and economic deprivation of the deep South. Taking their inspiration from Harlem's political and cultural milieu and from the responses to African art in Europe, artists contributed to Harlem's excitement by creating art that affirmed their identity and introduced black themes into American modernism. The "New Negro Movement" that flourished there and led to the Harlem Renaissance encompassed not only art, literature, music, film, and theater. It was also manifested by the social freedom of Harlem nightlife and the pursuit of hedonism, image-building and race-building, jazz poetics, progressive or socialist politics, racial integration, and Africa as a source of race pride.

Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Houston, TX Rhapsodies in Black: Art of the Harlem Renaissance November 22, 1998 - February 14, 1999 Caroline Wiess Law Building L ong regarded by scholars as a key period of African-American art history, the Harlem Renaissance remains one of the most fascinating periods of twentieth-century culture. The migration of black families from the rural south to the urban north, the subsequent concentration of African-American artists in New York City, and the unique exchanges between the African-American, Anglo American, and European cultural communities are some of the defining characteristics of this unique cultural era. It is this artistic and social exchange between distinct communities as well as the expression of the visual arts, music, dance, film, and graphics through the African Diaspora that distinguishes this exhibition. The exhibition is co-curated by Dr. Richard J. Powell, Duke University, and David A. Bailey, University of East London. Rhapsodies in Black is organized by the Hayward Gallery in London, in collaboration with the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Institute of International Visual Arts, London.

Last update 9/12/2001. INTRODUCTION Outside of the art world, people rarely think of the renaissance period describing the written word. This habit has extended, as well. to the Harlem Renaissance; however, the written word was a very important part of this period. There had been Negro writers for at least 140 years. Perhaps, the best known were Charles W. Chestnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar . Chestnutt's novels included The Conjure Woman and The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color Line , whereas Dunbar, primarily a poet, was best known for his novel The Sport of the Gods . Chestnut's writing, though moving away from the plantation romanticism which had glorified slavery, possessed realistic flavor, and it emphasized relations based on the divisions of the black and white races rather than developing the interior lives of its characters. At the same time, and to some extent today, most African Americans found positive value in the stereotypical puritan compulsions to order, frugality, temperance, decorum, and frigidity which had always served to distinguish the civilized (i.e., whites) from the darker peoples they enslaved or colonized who had to be tutored because they embodied just the opposite of many of these characteristics.

To Guide Entry In any study of the development of Afro-American culture, the period of the 1920’s known as the Harlem or Negro Renaissance is pivotal. It was a time when black and white Americans alike “discovered” the vibrancy and uniqueness of black art, music, and especially, literature. The decade was marked by exciting nightlife in Harlem’s cabarets, particularly the Cotton Club; by the publishing of a great number of novels, short stories, plays, poems, and articles about and by blacks; by great musicals written by and starring blacks, most importantly the legendary Shuffle Along ; and by the production of artwork by talented young artists like Aaron Douglas and Richmond Barthe. What made this period significant was the fact that the “Negro was in vogue,” as Langston Hughes writes in his autobiography The Big Sea . For the first time in American history, large numbers of black artists could earn their livings and be critically acknowledged in their fields. It was a time of excitement for the younger generation of the Negro intelligentsia, dubbed the “New Negroes” in Alain Locke’s collection of the same name, published in 1925. As Locke, often termed the “father” of the Negro Renaissance, says in his introductory essay “The New Negro,” “The younger generation is vibrant with a new psychology” (p. 3). This “new psychology” was a freedom of expression hitherto unknown in such a large number of black artists as well as receptiveness to anything “black” on the part of many whites.

Worcester Art Museum Exhibition Celebrates the Harlem Renaissance (WORCESTER, Mass., December 20, 2002) - From sculptures of African masks to painted scenes of everyday life, the diverse work on view in The Harlem Renaissance and Its Legacy at the Worcester Art Museum, Jan. 18-April 13, celebrates the artistic achievements of African Americans in the 20th century. In the 1920s, Harlem became a creative hub that encompassed every facet of American culture-literature, visual arts, theatre, music, and dance. The Harlem Renaissance influenced artists in cities across the United States and abroad, producing artwork that captured the triumphs and struggles of the African-American experience. While the Renaissance, fueled by the universal prosperity of the 1920s, lasted little more than a decade, its legacy can be traced through much of the 20th century. The Harlem Renaissance and Its Legacy , organized by the Worcester Art Museum, features paintings, sculptures, collages, photographs and illustrated books by prominent African-American artists from the Harlem Renaissance and the decades that followed. Works derive from the Worcester Art Museum's permanent collection, and also from private collections, rarely on public view. While there were notable African-American artists prior to the Harlem Renaissance, they found little public support. Because of the prosperity of 1920s, both middle-class African Americans and European Americans became patrons of the arts. A great migration of African Americans from the south to urban centers energized Harlem with a pervading sense of freedom and expression. The culture of the Harlem Renaissance fostered friendships and collaborations among artists of many disciplines. A wide circle of performers, poets, playwrights and painters socialized and lent support to one another. Jazz diffused popular music, and writers and poets such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and James Weldon Johnson thrived.

MORE INFO AND CHOICES Email: Description Table of Contents About the Authors Related Books DESCRIPTION (back to top) Harlem has captivated the imagination of writers, artists, intellectuals, and politicians around the world since the early decades of this century. Rhapsodies in Black: Art of the Harlem Renaissance examines the cultural reawakening of Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s as a key moment in twentieth-century art history, one that transcended regional and racial boundaries. Published to coincide with the exhibition that opens in England and travels to the United States, this catalog reflects the Harlem Renaissance's impressive range of art formsliterature, music, dance, theater, painting, sculpture, photography, film, and graphic design. The participants included not only artists based in New York, but also those from other parts of the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. Richard J. Powell and David A. Bailey present selected works that focus on six themes: Representing "The New Negro;" Another Modernism; Blues, Jazz, and the Performative Paradigm; The Cult of the Primitive; Africa: Inheritance and Seizure; and Jacob Lawrence's Toussaint L'Ouverture series. The visual arts from 1919 to 1938 included in the book suggest the extraordinary vibrancy of the time when Harlem was a metaphor for modernity. In spite of the importance of the Harlem Renaissance to early twentieth-century American culture and to the artistic climate of "Jazz Age" Paris and Weimar Berlin, few art exhibitions have been devoted exclusively to the subject.

During the mass migration of African Americans from the rural agricultural South to the urban industrial North (1914–18), many who came to New York settled in Harlem, as did a good number of black New Yorkers moved from other areas of the city. Meanwhile, Southern black musicians brought jazz with them to the North and to Harlem. The area soon became a sophisticated literary and artistic center. A number of periodicals were influential in creating this milieu, particularly the magazines Crisis, which was published by W. E. B. Du Bois and urged racial pride among African Americans, and Opportunity, published by the National Urban League. Also influential was the book The New Negro: An Interpretation (1925), edited by Alain Locke.
