Write about Streetlife Harlem by William h johnson. From the series Streetlife Harlem, 1993, whose title appeared in the catalogue accompanying the show.Throughout his career, Fuller has employed blackface paint to create expressive, anti-white imagery. A typical example, from the series Lyrical Cities, 1987, was a group of three images of white New Yorkers and black New Yorkers, each labeled with the citys name: The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. In a previous series, The Black Slave, 1987, Fuller built a painted-wood panel, a white building, and a white stairway into a simple, quasi-monochromatic image of a cityscape. In other works, Fuller creates an amalgam of different materials to achieve the same effect: The Bronx as a white box, the Brooklyn as a black-and-white background, and the Queens as a painted-wood panel. Here, the authorship of these seemingly antithetical images is clear: The Bronx as a white box, the Brooklyn as a black background, and the Queens as a painted-wood panel. In the final image, the painted-wood panel is filled with black paint. The paint is applied in a rich, controlled, and precise manner. Fuller often paints a flat, solid color in his compositions, and in this series, he used black pigment to create a finely detailed image of the Bronx. Fuller also created a series of two-color images of the Bronx, one titled Lyrical Cities and the other titled Lyrical Cities with a Black Man on a Pole. The latter show two black men on a pole—one is an older man who looks to be in his early twenties and the other a younger man who looks to be in his twenties. These paintings are based on the artists memory of his time in Harlem, his memories of his experiences in the neighborhood. In each painting, the black man holds a sphere of white paint in his right hand and a sphere of black paint in his left.

Write about Streetlife Harlem by William h johnson, who lives in Harlem and was one of the first African Americans to enroll in the art academies at New Yorks Metropolitan Community College and the Museum of Modern Art. (He died in 1990, at the age of twenty-seven.) The work, made during his two years of training as a sculptor at the Bronx Museum, was on view for the first time in New York in nearly a decade.Its a little disconcerting, then, that the show, which was first announced in early March, seemed to date back to the mid-1960s. The show looked dated, perhaps because its scope was so narrow, and it didnt take up many of the themes or themes that had been explored in the earlier work. The show included a modest selection of works by black American artists, from Frank Stella to Al Held. But what was it about these artists, or any of them, that had been so convincing in the 60s and 70s? It was their sense of the present, in part, by way of contemporary techniques. Its hard not to think of the way that, for instance, so many of the paintings of the 60s looked like photocopies from old magazines, as well as of the way that so many of the modernist ideas that had been developed during the 70s and 80s looked like photocopies from old magazines. The way that people looked at a modernist work, then, was to see it as a photocopy of the past, and the way that the present looked like an image of the past.There were several great works in the show, many of them by black American artists—Peter Gores, Joe Goode, Thurston Moore, Paul Heyer. But even as the show moved away from the politics of the 60s, it retained the sense of the present—a sense that people were still thinking about the present.

Write about Streetlife Harlem by William h johnson (1908–1988) in the New York Times, in July 1934, marking a major turning point in the history of art in Harlem. The idea of creating an environment for young artists to develop their talents is one of the most important and enduring elements of the Harlem Renaissance. This exhibition brought together more than one hundred artists and created an excellent survey of the diversity of the Harlem art scene.Among the more familiar of the Harlem Renaissance is the work of J. M. W. Keats, a principal of the Quay Gallery, and a close friend of both Jackson Pollock and the P.S. 1 Group. Keats collected and displayed many of the artists work during the 20s and 30s, including work by both Pollock and Pollock-inspired groups. The P.S. 1 Group, with its very first exhibition, produced a number of impressive assemblages that exemplified the new avant-garde spirit that would pervade the Harlem Renaissance. The P.S. 1 Group exhibited with their own exhibition, which included works by many artists who were part of the Harlem Renaissance: Jack Kerouac, John McCracken, Louis Kahn, Jack Goldstein, Richard Hamilton, Louise Lawler, Robert Irwin, Robert Morris, and Hélio Oiticica. The exhibition was well-organized, well-considered, and well-presented.The exhibition also included some of the lesser-known artists from the Harlem Renaissance, a group that also included artists who lived in Harlem. Among the lesser known artists were Edgar Sawyer, Joe Clark, and David Hammons, as well as the famous and well-known artist Geraldine A. Smithson. In the show, each of the major artists had his or her work displayed.

Write about Streetlife Harlem by William h johnson, the architect and founder of the Harlem Renaissance Society (the society in which Johnson was its first president). In the earlier work, a small but highly sophisticated (if somewhat tongue-in-cheek) catalogue essay on the Harlem Renaissance Society, Johnson presented a selection of his members in this context, introducing them by name, as well as by home address, in a style that would be familiar to those who have come across the Harlem Renaissance Society, most memorably by the curator and friend of its founders, Andrew Wyeth, who was instrumental in the first Harlem Renaissance Society exhibition in New York.While Wyeths project was as much about the revitalization of the neighborhoods of Harlem as about the revitalization of the city, the Harlem Renaissance Society, Johnss work implied that the Harlem Renaissance Society was a means to an end, a long-term goal, for which the city was destined. The exhibition also featured some of Johnss favorite members, such as the poet Sully, the painter Moses Abner, and the painter and composer Freddie Mercury, among others.In the early 90s, Johnsons friends, many of whom have been active in the Harlem Renaissance Society, joined forces with the Harlem Arts Council, a group of black artists, educators, and activists who have been working together since the mid-90s to revitalize the city and its neighborhoods. For this project, Johnson chose to reconstruct a few of these early Harlem Renaissance societies, which were then in their third or fourth decade of existence. The resulting shows, including the collaborative group show at the Institute for Contemporary Art, also included a large number of early Harlem Renaissance Society members and included Johnsons own photographs, which were exhibited alongside the group shows.

Write about Streetlife Harlem by William h johnson, they are so exact and perfect, so perfect, that theres no room for error. From them, they emanate the authenticity and glamour of their time. But their authenticity is counterfeit, because it is the product of the CIA, which on the other hand is an agency that wishes to displace the power of the real. Frankly, streetlife Harlem is a reality that the American government wishes to maintain.The same is true of other political art that has never received the American government's approval, from James Rosenquist to James Turrell, who have made art that is too political. In fact, the same lies behind their art. The issue is the difference between politics and art, between art and politics. Politics is the art of the masses, not the art of the elite. Art is the art of the elite, and art has its roots in the masses. The art of the masses has its roots in the art of the rich, and in the art of the rich it has its roots in the art of the powerful. The art of the masses has its roots in the art of the rich, and in the art of the powerful, and in the art of the rich, it has its roots in the art of the art critic. For the art critic, art is the expression of the masses, not the expression of the elite. And to those who think otherwise, I say: Fuck you. You are a fool who cant know the art of the masses.The Art of the Rich is a very different political art, a political art that is apolitical, as a matter of fact apolitical. For some reason, the art of the rich is apolitical, because it is not very political. It is apolitical because it is not very artistic. I suppose the art critic is apolitical because he cant understand art, but the art critic is apolitical because he doesnt understand art.
