It presents art as a vehicle of social change; it tackles big ideas given short shrift elsewhere; it privileges those ideas over market-approved versions of fashion and beauty. In all these ways “Négritude” is a classic Exit Art show: ambitious, uneven, didactic in a way now unfashionable and valiant in a way that won’t go out of fashion. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/03/arts/design/03gall.html?pagewanted=2&tntemail0=y&emc=tnt#"><P> Négritude  was a cultural movement that became a social movement. Initially shaped by two statesman-poets living  in Paris in the 1930s, Aimé Césaire of Martinique and Léopold Senghor of Senegal, its goal was to recover an essence of African-ness suppressed by colonial rule. The recovery effort was aimed toward aesthetics but contributed mightily to independence struggles in Africa, as well as to African-American and Afro-Caribbean culture . </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D4E305F2-926C-46A1-A70E-4B0BB6A541B0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
