"The year 2004 will be dedicated to Miles, our cat, who was named after the legendary Miles Davis. Our Miles died on January 8th, 2004. He was the only "angel" that I ever knew. He will be missed." ~Szugye "Freedom comes when you learn to let go. Creation comes when you learn to say no...There's no greater power than the power of goodbye". ~Madonna My art reflects my fascination with the "jazz scenes" of Kansas City, New York and Paris during the 1920's through the 1940's. My art celebrates the essence of jazz music, ranging from somber to spirited. This spirit of jazz is expressed through my visions of everyday jazz musicians and individuals, revealing personal reflections, character, and whimsy. My images further express my interest in the aesthetics of the 1920's and the cultural expansion of the "jazz age". The Harlem Renaissance, art deco, and jazz music created a vibrant and rich palette from which I draw inspiration. Historically, I view the "jazz age" as a creative endeavor towards equality. The jazz music and art of the 1920's-1940's integrated women and men from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds; uniting them through a common love of music, dancing, writing, art, and the spirit of the times. My art communicates my love of jazz and art, while aspiring to continue this legacy of transcending cultural and racial limitations ~ Szugye

Last update 9/5/98 This site was awarded a Times Pick by the Los Angeles Times on 7/28/98. 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.

Although African Americans wrote symphonies and sonatas in the period between the world wars, it was the nightclub music that seems to capture the period. The musical show Shuffle Along , which opened on May 23, 1921, and ran for over 500 performances, was written by Eubie Blake, with lyrics by Noble Sissle, and the book by the vaudeville team Flournoy Miller and Aubrey Lines. Both Josephine Baker and Ethel Waters served in the chorus line. Paul Robeson was briefly in the cast as a member of a barbershop quartet. The libretto is open to the scene containing, "I'm Just Wild about Harry," the hit of the show. Eubie Blake.

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."

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.

Rhapsodies in Black: Art of the Harlem Renaissance Richard J.Powell , editor exhibition catalogue Berkeley: University of California Press Synopsis: 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 forms-literature, 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. Rhapsodies in Black will be welcomed for its unique presentation of this creative time.

Aaron Douglas, Painter Art Lessons on the Web For Primary Students Harlem is a part of New York City. During the 1920's it was home for some of the most famous African-American writers, musicians, and artists. Many African-Americans migrated north to states such as New York in order to escape unfair laws called "Jim Crow laws" in southern states. They were looking for good jobs and opportunities to improve their life. They were looking for a place where they would be treated fairly. Harlem was just such a place. Jazz music became very popular, and many night clubs and dance halls opened their doors to crowds of customers. One dance hall called the Savoy Ballroom often had over 4,000 people , black and white, every night. These customers would enjoy eating, dancing and listening to singers like Bessie Smith, and the music of famous bands led by musicians such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. The musicians, writers and artists of Harlem created a place where the world could see the cultural achievements of African-Americans. Plays, stories, poems and music allowed them to share their pride in their accomplishments. That special time during the 1920's was called the Harlem Renaissance. Did you know?

Visual Arts The visual art of the Harlem Renaissance was an attempt at developing a new African-American aesthetic in the fine arts. Having essentially no tradition to draw upon, the would-be painters, sculptors and graphic artists set out to establish their artistic community mainly through improvisation and style. Believing that their life experiences were valuable sources of material for their art, these artists created an iconography (usage of recognizable symbols to convey the artists message) representative of the Harlem Renaissance era. Thematic content included Africa as a source of inspiration, African-American history, folk idioms, including music and religion of the South, and social injustice. Their collective efforts not only established this new African-American identity, but also contributed to the development of our modern American culture. Three artists will be featured on this page: Loïs Mailou Jones William H. Johnson Palmer Hayden Back

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History HARLEM RENAISSANCE Spanning the 1920s to the mid-1930s, the Harlem Renaissance was a literary, artistic, and intellectual movement that kindled a new black cultural identity. Its essence was summed up by critic and teacher Alain Locke in 1926 when he declared that through art, "Negro life is seizing its first chances for group expression and self determination." Harlem became the center of a "spiritual coming of age" in which Locke's "New Negro" transformed "social disillusionment to race pride." Chiefly literary, the Renaissance included the visual arts but excluded jazz, despite its parallel emergence as a black art form. The nucleus of the movement included Jean Toomer, Langston Hughes, Rudolf Fisher, Wallace Thurman, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Nella Larsen, Arna Bontemps, Countee Cullen, and Zora Neale Hurston. An older generation of writers and intellectuals—James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Alain Locke, and Charles S. Johnson—served as mentors. The publishing industry, fueled by whites' fascination with the exotic world of Harlem, sought out and published black writers. With much of the literature focusing on a realistic portrayal of black life, conservative black critics feared that the depiction of ghetto realism would impede the cause of racial equality. The intent of the movement, however, was not political but aesthetic. Any benefit a burgeoning black contribution to literature might have in defraying racial prejudice was secondary to, as Langston Hughes put it, the "expression of our individual dark-skinned selves."
