Harlem Renaissance artists and musicians worked in New York in the 1920s. The PBS Series Art & Culture does a great job giving the historical background of this movement. The artists sought to incorporate, and celebrate, their cultural traditions within the frameworks of the mainstream American society. According to Howard University Professor Alain Locke, artists of the Harlem Renaissance rejected "landscapes for the figurative, rural scenes for urban and focused on class, culture and Africa to bring ethnic consciousness into art and create a new black identity".
