[400/600]
From 1928 to 1935, the Harmon Foundation
gave support and awards to American Negro
artists, featuring their work in a series of cata-
logues which have now become quite scarce.
The artists illustrated on their pages represent a
virtual who’s who in a period that has come to
be known as the “Harlem Renaissance.”
Artists like Sargent Claude Johnson, Allan
Freelon, Henry Bozemen Jones, Palmer
Hayden and many others were given a platform
for the first time.
