Discuss the significance of the Harlem Renaissance. Identify a representative artist and the subject matter of his or her work.

I believe the correct answer is: it was considered to be a rebirth (renaissance) of African-American arts; Alain Leroy Locke.

The Harlem Renaissance (also known as "New Negro Movement") was an intellectual, social, and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem, New York. This movement was considered to be a rebirth of African-American arts and a way for African-Americans to express pride in their race and culture. They believed that the time had come for African-Americans to take their rightful place in society and contribute to culture in meaningful ways.

I believe the representative artiste of the Harlem Renaissance is: Alain Leroy Locke - the acknowledged "Dean" - of the Harlem Renaissance. Locke’s work was grounded in the concept of race-building, overall awareness of the potential black equality and idea of self-confidence and political awareness.
