The African American Art Movement

The African American Art Movement refers to the evolution and expression of art created by Black artists in the United States, particularly from the early 20th century onward. It encompasses various styles and influences, including Harlem Renaissance artists who celebrated African American culture and identity. The movement highlights themes of social justice, racial pride, and personal experience. Artists like Jacob Lawrence and Romare Bearden used their work to address issues of race and history. Today, this movement continues to inspire contemporary artists while fostering a deeper understanding of African American heritage and the diverse narratives within it.
