...on 1920s America. While much focus of the New Negro Movement is centered in the United States, it indeed was an international affair. The purpose of this research is to examine how a number of African Americans launched their creative debut from the international stage of Paris, France. Additional focus will center on black artists turning to Africa as a source and facture in the art. Last but not least, the effort of Author Schomburg to collect and house international works about blacks will be addressed. Utterly intrigued by African Americans and thoroughly consumed with their talents, the French displayed a respect for Blacks unseen in the United States. While a great number of African-American soldiers remain in Paris, many journeyed back to the United States. Those soldiers certainly were not greeted by change. The United States remained the same racially tensed nation. If there was any change, it was the increase of racial tension. In the summer of 1919, the intensity had peaked so that race riots rampaged throughout the country. At this time, African-American, World War I soldiers fled the country. They return to Paris baring gifts of talent, intelligence, and art. Among the great talent brought to Paris by African Americans was the introduction of Jazz music. The explosive jazz...

Gonzalez Dated: 7/27/2012 Artist Victor F. Gonzalez and I quote “Forget for a moment what country your from, what race, what color, and what religion, we are all reaching out, life, and love. The moments that we live! Mr. Gonzalez is an ex-brother in law from East Broadway, New York. From my knowledge he was raised most of his life in the projects of the lower Eastside, my reminder of that area is the Brooklyn Bridge that obviously crosses from lower Manhattan to Brooklyn. To this day I’ve had nothing but great admiration for his artistic paintings and point of view. I find Joey’s painting (It’s the name I always knew him by or called him, since he was a little child) somewhat Neo- Expressionist. Neo-Expressionism as we all know was practiced during the 1920s. According to Artstory.com a Mr. George Baselitz led a revival which dominated German Art in the 1970s. In Germany the return of expressionist art was part of a more general shift in society towards addressing the country’s modern history. Led by Mr. Baselitz revival in the 1980s this resurgence had become part of the...

SCOTT The article begins with a brief definition of the cultural economy. A first generation of local economic development policy approaches based on place marketing and associated initiatives is described. The possibilities of a more powerful second-generation approach are then sketched out with special emphasis on localized complexes of cultural-products industries. An extensive review and classification of these complexes is laid out, and their inward and outward relations to global markets are considered. On this basis, a critical discussion of local economic policy options focused on cultural-products industries is offered. Contrasting examples of development initiatives in major global cities, in selected old manufacturing towns, and in the Multimedia Super Corridor of Malaysia are briefly presented. It is suggested that the growth and spread of localized production agglomerations based on cultural-products industries are leading not to cultural uniformity but to greatly increased diversity at the global level. Keywords: agglomeration; cultural economy; globalization; industrial districts; local economic development; place marketing Over the past decade or so, the industrial profile...

A channel is a set ofintermediary companies, people or agents who manage the movement of products and services from the manufacturer to the final user.
