Abstract:

The Harlem Renaissance is a period in which African-American illuminates and artists, who are deprived of their rights and freedoms in a society where racism is widespread, discover cultural identities. The lack of a voice to represent Afro-Americans in the political field and the widespread racist attitude in the country have made it possible for many Afro-Americans to express themselves in artistic ways. Competition in art productions has not only been a way for African-Americans to strengthen themselves economically, but also a way to show their racial dignity. Although this cultural movement is not a clear timeline, it can be said that it almost began at the end of the First World War and ended in the mid-1930s of the Great Bohr. This article examines the influence of the change in American painting that the Harlem Renaissance movement led to from the 1920s to the 1950s. Literary scans on the subject have been carried out, and the data obtained during the research process have been obtained by examination of the subject-related domestic and foreign sources.
