Rhapsodies in Black: Art of the Harlem Renissance
As the Jazz age dawned in the early 1920's, African American
artists, writers and musicians flocked to a district of Manhattan
called Harlem. 'The Mecca of the New Negro' soon became home to a
cultural revolution, repercussions of which would be felt around
the world, from the USA to Europe and Africa. The rich artistic
legacy of the Harlem Renaissance rages from the music of Duke
Ellington and Bessie Smith, to the paintings of Aaron Douglas
and the poetry of Langston Hughes.
