Through July 28, 2024, an exploration of the development of Black modern art since 1920 and the international influence of African culture (featuring over 160 paintings, photographs and film) is the subject of “The Harlem Renaissance and Transatlantic Modernism.” Harlem — known for jazz clubs, gospel choirs and African-American heritage — attracts tourists and locals alike. This vibrant New York City neighborhood is located in Upper Manhattan, bounded by Central Park North, Fifth Avenue, the Harlem River, and the Hudson River. Originally a Dutch village dating back to 1658, and named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands, Harlem is home to the famous Apollo Theater located on 125th Street, the neighborhood’s main artery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hottest museum tickets in New York City during 2023 were for exhibitions focused on KARL LAGERFELD, VINCENT VAN GOGH, EDOUARD MANET and EDGAR DEGAS presented at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (colloquially, “the Met”). Even though those well-regarded shows have now closed, you can view highlights from “Karl Lagerfeld — A Line of Beauty,” “Van Gogh’s Cypresses” and “Manet \/ Degas” in this article, plus you will learn about all the current exhibits at the premier art museum in New York City and the USA. On view now, the show entitled THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE contrasts the depiction of Black life by artists living & working in Harlem with the portrayal of the international African diaspora by their European counterparts, including Henri Matisse.<\/p>\n\n\n
