Harlem Renaissance Art 2

      

       This image which is also a image that came out of the Harlem Renaissance is called "Midsummer Nights in Harlem",draw in 1938 by Palmer Hayden it was very popular at its time. In this image Hayden was trying to get the viewer to see how midsummer nights in Harlem were. He effectively uses the mood of Harlem residents outside to escape the heat inside the tenements. He said himself that for this piece he "was not striving for satirical effects in his African American folk paintings,but that he wonted to achieve a new expression. He used many different techniques of painting in different ways ad styles.

      In this painting he made it so that ordinary people were doing ordinary work with such vitality that it transcended all ethnic boundaries. He wanted his viewers to recognize that any race know matter black or white can do anything anyway they want to do it. Any particular thing wasn't made for just any particular ethnicity, and in this painting, he makes that very clear.In his many years of painting, he has also been about painting black life and painting the good and black culture and what good black people can make out of it. His painting has also been inspirational and helpful to many people and still to this day is remembered .

     I like this painting , because i love what it is meant to represent. I believe that when you do something to better other people, or when you use words or artwork to talk to others its a beautiful thing. I really like the details that were used in the painting, and i like how he made every little detail look as good as the other one 's were. I didn't really have any dislikes towards the painting,  I think that it was a great piece of artwork that was painting by a great artist.
