Title	Aiming at Apposite Artworks : An Aggregating of Alain Locke’s Aesthetics
Author	Lobstein, Jamie Wayne
Year	2024
Place published	Denton, TX
Abstract	Do works of art exert their influence on us across time and culture? The so-called “godfather of the Harlem Renaissance,” Alain Locke, argued that Black artworks would lead to racial uplift, so he thought art crossed cultural boundaries, at least. In fact, Locke argued again and again for a universal appeal in art while at the same time expounding a thoroughgoing psychological approach to value theory, including aesthetic value. The two seemingly disparate aesthetic theories adverted by Locke have not been aggregated into a unified system. This work sets out to do just that with a review of Locke’s early aesthetics as evidenced by his value theory, and his later popular writings that adumbrate his insistence on a universal appeal in art.
