SoSe 13: African American Art from the Jazz Age to Hip Hop
Patricia Schulze Hills
Comments
The seminar surveys African American painting, sculpture, and photography from 1920 to 1990.
Topics for discussion will include the visual arts produced during the Harlem Renaissance (1920s), the 1930s government projects, the Post-World War Two Civil Rights Era, the Black Arts Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and today. In these decades debates within the African American artistic communities generated lively exchanges about modernism, black nationalism, the social responsibility of art to "uplift the race," the relevance of the legacy of Africa, the persistence of Africanist traditions from slave culture, the critique of Euro-American representations of race, and issues of voice and identity.
