Why art matters module 6
The Harlem Renaissance was a period between 1918-1930s when there was a flourishing of African American artistic, social, and political activity centered in Harlem, New York. Many black artists, writers, musicians and intellectuals moved to Harlem during the Great Migration to escape racism in the South and take advantage of more opportunities in Northern cities. Notable figures included writers Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes, visual artists Aaron Douglas and Augusta Savage, and musicians like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. The Harlem Renaissance gave black artists pride in representing the black experience and set the stage for the civil rights movement.
Artistic currents
In the late 20th century, African American artistic expression flourished across multiple mediums. In literature, writers like Ralph Ellison and James Baldwin continued to win audiences with their works in the 1980s. Toni Morrison emerged as a preeminent author, winning the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for her novels addressing issues of race and identity. August Wilson also rose to prominence as the premier African American playwright through works like Fences. Meanwhile, the rise of black women writers marked a significant trend, with Alice Walker and Rita Dove gaining wide acclaim. The art world also saw the emergence of influential black artists across mediums as museums devoted to African American art opened in major cities.
Art & Music of the Harlem Renaissanse
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural movement in the 1920s-1940s where African American social thought and culture thrived in Harlem, New York. Visual art, music, literature and more expressed the experiences of oppression and hopes for equality. Musicians like Duke Ellington and Fats Waller developed new jazz styles, while artists such as Aaron Douglas captured the African American experience and folk traditions in their paintings. However, racism and marginalization remained challenges during this time.

Jazz originated in the early 20th century in the United States and had its roots in African dance traditions. Major performers like Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong influenced the Harlem Renaissance with their performances in nightclubs like the Cotton Club. The Cotton Club featured only black entertainers but was segregated, allowing only white patrons. Jazz became a popular music genre during this time, reaching audiences of diverse races.

Harlem Renaissance Music CP
During the early 20th century, many African Americans migrated north in what was known as the Great Migration. This was partly due to seeking escape from oppression in the south as well as job opportunities from northern industrialization. This migration led to the rise of blues music and the Harlem Renaissance, where genres like jazz flourished. Major performers who influenced music during this time included Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and artists who performed at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem. Rent parties also provided opportunities for musicians to perform and help tenants pay rent. The new forms of African American music helped change perceptions and gave greater respect and opportunities to the community during this period.
