Exhibition Tour-The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism | Met Exhibitions

Join Dr. Denise M. Murrell, Merryl H. and James S. Tisch Curator at Large in The Met’s Director's Office, for a virtual tour of the groundbreaking exhibition The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism.
Through some 160 works of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and ephemera, it will explore the comprehensive and far-reaching ways in which Black artists portrayed everyday modern life in the new Black cities that took shape in the 1920s-40s in New York City’s Harlem and nationwide in the early decades of the Great Migration when millions of African Americans began to move away from the segregated rural South. The first art museum survey of the subject in New York City since 1987, the exhibition will establish the Harlem Renaissance and its radically new development of the modern Black subject as central to the development of international modern art.
On view February 25 - July 28, 2024.

This is an excellent exhibition which should be seen by everyone. Denise Murell has outdone herself once again. Also, this video is excellent.

[@hilarystrange3973]

Back in the autumn, I decided I would give a talk on Harlem Renaissance. I had picked 1920s in a draw at my U3A Art Appreciation class....so I started reading, books I got second hand and began to plan what to cover. Then, Iwas amazed to see this exhibition advertised on my mobile. The video is superb, amazing and has helped me a lot. The catalogue is a joy to read and study the pictures. Sadly, a visit is not possible.Thankyou so much from Swindon, England.

[@kellyturner1341]

Beautifully presented pictures of our history and culture from talented artists of the past.

[@melissabruhn1429]

[@sharongillesp]

Wonderful exhibition!

[@acebutterfly2725]

I went to the MET and I loved it! It was my introduction to art. I didn’t know if I would like it because I don’t know about paintings etc. But they offer tours, and you get to discuss the art pieces and learn about history etc.I recommend going.😃

[@clarakana845]

I can’t attend the exhibition (I live in Paris…) but I will buy the exhibition catalogue for sure ! Thank you Mrs Murrell and all the Met Team for the wonderful exhibition. I didn’t know that much about the Harlem Renaissance mouvement before watching the video. I’m blown away by the artworks of all these creatives minds.

[@borromdakar4323]

[@ShantalRhodes]

I had the privilege to see this exhibit before museum hours and to experience this was amazing. It was so clean and the way it flows was top notch. My favorite section was “NIGHTLIFE”. The lighting fit the vibes that the art was telling and I spent most of my time there. Thank you for this exhibit, this video and I can’t wait to bring my family to see it.

[@robinsnestradio]

Jacob Lawrence is an important figure too. Saw one of his works here but didn’t hear his name mentioned.

[@Muttley3000]

[@rosalinkrieger3352]

Is William H. Johnson's 1945 painting "Marian Anderson," in this exhibition? And what about Jacob Lawrence's works?
