THE SERIOUS NEGRO ARTIST is now coming into his own. Such novelists as Richard Wright, Jessie Fauset, Zora Neale Hurston, and such poets as the late James Weldon Johnson, Langston Hughes, and Countee Cullen are already well known to American readers. On the concert stage Marian Anderson, Dorothy Maynor, Paul Robeson, Roland Hayes, and others have brought the finest expression of the human voice to audiences all over the world. Dean Dixon is a well known symphony orchestra conductor. There are many rising Negro artists including Hale Woodruff, Jacob Lawrence, and Charles Alston. Richmond Barthé and Augusta Savage are able sculptors, and E. Simms Campbell is an outstanding cartoonist. There are many other important personages among Negro artists, including the artists of the theatre and motion pictures. Recognition of their unique talents is steadily increasing.
