This paper concerns Black women poets of the Harlem Renaissance. Considered by modern critics to have adopted anachronistic subject matter and to be out of step with the militant race-consciousness of the period, these poets have been largely neglected in discussions of the 1920's, despite the fact that this was the most significant flowering of Black women's writing until the 1960's. I provide an interpretive model that reveals the rebellious messages in this verse, one that helps explain the poets' imaginative choices by placing them in their historical context and liking them to a female poetic tradition. This approach makes clear the affirming nature of Renaissance poetry by women and makes it accessible to us today, anticipating as it does contemporary issues and forging a modern sensibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents information on several arts exhibition being held in New York City. The exhibition titled "Twenty-Five Important Acquisitions," is being held at the Primitives Gallery of Harry Stone, 555 Madison Avenue, until March 20, 1943. Most of the twenty-five acquisitions are charming. There is something here to please everyone, the collector, the lover of good painting, or the detective who wishes to trace the artist, the time, or the place. The exhibition of Monotypes by Demetrio Urruchua and Exhibition of Paintings by Luis Herrerra Guevara is being held at Durlacher Brothers, East Fifty-seventh Street, until March 20. Two South American painters Urruchua paints in monotype, a process whereby the paint is applied in reverse to a stone or glass slab, and the slab then run through a press for imprinting on a slightly absorbent paper. This process, is popular in Argentina.

Every one concerned with the publication of illustrated books, magazines, and papers, whether artist or engraver, printer or publisher, or even the outside public, should have been compelled to visit the exhibition of illustrated books just ended at the New York Public Library. In the art of illustration, people have gone backward, not forward. In the seventies and eighties, people had the right appreciation for it, they strove for perfection, and by the nineties they were in the van of the movement; their illustrated books and magazines held their own with those of any other country; they showed that to reject the methods of the past was not necessarily to substitute nothing good in their place.

An immense collection of pictures, of which much has been said and written, in and out of the daily papers, is to be sold in a few days at a Broadway salesroom in New York City. This gathering was made during the years 1845 to 1860 by a late citizen of Boston. Many stories are in circulation regarding the eccentricities of the collector and the reasons for this seclusion of his pictures. As the pictures are brought to light, offered for public examination and sale, and catalogued, the collection is found to be enormous in size, and exceedingly poor in quality.

This article reports on the fortieth annual exhibition of the National Academy of Design, New York City, New York. This exhibition is stronger in landscape painting than in any other department of art. George B. Wood's little picture "Clearing off Cold," is an instance minute incident on large canvass. Two years ago Wood exhibited a small painting of Mulleins, and these two pictures are all people know of his work. Charles H. Moore's "Study in the Catskill Valley," is a representation on a very small scale of a very wide range of country. The spectator stands on a slightly rising ground, and looks across perhaps ten miles of low-lying country to the Catskill Mountains beyond.

This article reports on the JVC Jazz Festival held in June 1997, in New York City, New York. The year the Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Ironically, this year's JVC festival made a powerful argument for programming over volume, even if people didn't agree with the programming. Apparently Wein was fired up by some combination of the twenty-fifth anniversary, last year's New York press putdowns of his tepid programming, steadily declining ticket sales and the deaths of some of his longtime stars. And despite high-ticket prices for JVC main events at Avery Fisher and Carnegie, audiences there were more New York diverse than those at Texaco. The Latin jazz and Brazilian nights drew lots of Hispanic listeners.

At the exhibition of the National Academy of Design there were five large drawings, illustrating designs by artist B.M. Hunt for four entrances to the Central Park in New York City and for a terrace in connection with one of them. Photographs of these drawings are now for sale. It seems, then, that the four southern gateways to the park are to be built after these designs. As the southern wall of the park is nearly completed, and is only waiting for the gateways, and as it is already a very long time since gateways were first talked of and reported about, it is probable that the work will soon be begun. These designs, therefore, demand the notice of all who care about the character of decorative architecture.

No critic, self appointed to safeguard oppressed and undiscovered genius, nor those chosen young vessels themselves - can complain that the artist with a "tendency" has not been offered a fair chance at the exhibition of the National Academy of Design, open in New York City from March 14 to April 18. In groups and singly, on every hand, are examples of all the latest "movements" in art. And after a tour of the galleries one comes away with the memory of things one does not care for. The Academy hitherto has usually excluded works which have been seen before on its walls or in other public exhibitions in the city. This year, however, with a liberality greater than the Academy has been credited with possessing.
