Harlem Renaissance
Art of Black America
Mary Schmidt Campbell
In the 1920s, Harlem, "the cultural capital of Black America," was host to some of America's finest and most daring writers, actors, musicians, and artist. Black artists contributed to Harlem's excitement by creating art which expressed their identity and introduced Black themes into American modernism. Among the artists who achieved international fame during the Harlem Renaissance were the sculptor Meta Warrick Fuller, painter and book illustrator Aaron Douglas, and painters Palmer Hayden and William H. Johnson. Through their talents, the Black artist emerged for the first time as an identifiable force and a vital part of American culture. In this publication, with 140 illustration, their art is complemented by the photographs of James Van Der Zee, the great documentary photographer of Harlem in the 1920s. Photographs of the artists and other Harlem notables by Carl Van Vechten, a White patron of the Renaissance, complete the story. -- From publisher's description.
