The Academy Museum’s Regeneration: Black Cinema 1898-1971 explores Oscar Micheaux’s low-budget dramas in the silent-film era to the works of Melvin Van Peebles. The exhibit opens Aug. 21.
: Black Cinema 1898-1971 is not to be missed. Not only does the exhibition celebrate Black representation in film, it serves as an important reminder and lesson about the contributions of Black filmmakers and stars to the world of cinema.
Poiter’s Oscar for “Lillies of the Field” is just one of the many artifacts on display in this historic exhibition. Alongside the award are tap shoes worn by the Nicholas Brothers and one of Louis Armstrong’s trumpets.Before appearing in westerns such as “The Bronze Buckaroo” and “Harlem Rides the Range,” Herb Jeffries made his acting debut in 1937’s “Harlem on the Prairie.”
The brothers, with their background as choreographers and dancers, did not even rehearse for the sequence, which is deemed one of Hollywood’s most impressive dance numbers.Costume designer Mary Anne Nyberg created the costumes for 1954’s “Carmen Jones,” the all-Black-cast musical starring Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte, Pearl Bailey, Dushanbe Carroll and Brock Peters.
