Scarsdale Adult School Catalog Fall/Winter 2024-25
Harlem Renaissance and Beyond During the Great Migration, millions of African Americans moved from the segregated rural South to cities throughout the country, including New York City's Harlem. This series considers the extensive and expansive ways in which Black artists captured everyday modern life in Harlem and across America, with the Black subject as its center. Inspired by the Met’s exhibition TheHarlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism , this series explores paintings, sculpture, and photographs by Black American artists working from 1920 to 1940 and by the European artists who engaged with aspects of the international African Diaspora, the transatlantic nature of the movement, as well as Black artists from the later part of the twentieth century up to the present whose work owed much to their predecessors from the Harlem Renaissance.
