Artists and thinkers of the Harlem Renaissance wrestled with a defining question: What kind of art should Black artists create? Painter William H. Johnson—whose practice spanned Nordic landscapes, modernist portraits, and vivid depictions of Black life—became central to this debate.
In this talk, Dr. Dalila Scruggs, Augusta Savage Curator of African American Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), traced Johnson's artistic journey and the critical responses that shaped his reputation. She also reflected on SAAM's stewardship of the world’s largest Johnson collection and how the museum carried his legacy from the rise of the Black Arts Movement to today. Visitors also explored a library display featuring Harlem Renaissance materials from the collection.
This program was made possible by the Making History, Making Change Lecture Series, which explored the American experience as the nation marked its 250th anniversary. The series, a project of Smithsonian Affiliations, was supported in part by the Dreier Family, Johanna and Ken Kim Family, Vaishali Shah Chadha and Family, and Michael Vu & Meridel Bulle-Vu.
