摘要

Since Richard Powell's decisive monograph on William H. Johnson was published in 1991, Johnson's vast body of work has been the focus of several exhibitions, catalogues, and scholarly articles. While his Jitterbugs series of prints, drawings, and paintings is mentioned in some of these studies, sustained and thorough attention has not yet been paid to this series. What has been written about Jitterbugs tends to offer a straightforward account of Johnson's depiction of the popular dance and the fashionable attire of the dancers while emphasizing his choice of this subject matter within the context of the Harlem Renaissance. A closer look at the Jitterbugs series, however, reveals affinities with modern caricature and machine age aesthetics that places Johnson's work within an expanded modernist discourse about the relationship between the human body and the machine, and the relationship between African American identity and the concept of "Americanness.".

Johnson的决定性专着以来,Johnson的大量著作一直是数次展览,目录和学术文章的焦点。尽管其中一些研究提到了他的Jitterbugs系列版画,素描和绘画,但尚未对此系列进行持续而彻底的关注。关于Jitterbugs的文章倾向于直接说明约翰逊对流行舞蹈和舞者的时尚着装的描绘,同时强调他在哈林文艺复兴时期对这一主题的选择。然而,仔细研究Jitterbugs系列,可以发现其与现代漫画和机器时代美学的亲和力,这使Johnson的工作成为了关于人体与机器​​之间关系以及非裔美国人身份与伦理观念之间关系的扩展现代主义论述。 “美国人”。
