Answers
Explanation:
Visual artists of the Harlem Renaissance, like the dramatists, attempted to win control over representation of their people from white caricature and denigration while developing a new repertoire of images. Prior to World War I, Black painters and sculptors had rarely concerned themselves with African American subject matter. By the end of the 1920s, however, Black artists had begun developing styles related to Black aesthetic traditions of Africa or to folk art. Meta Warrick Fuller anticipated this development with her sculpture Ethiopia Awakening (1914). Appearing from a distance like a piece of Egyptian funerary sculpture, it depicts a Black woman wrapped like a mummy from the waist down. But her upper torso aspires upward, suggesting rebirth from a long sleep. In the 1920s, as African art became better known in Western art circles, West African cultural models gained importance for Black American artists.
