The negro artist and the racial mountain was written in response to the crisis the nation "the new negro" "the negro art hokum"

The negro artist and the racial mountain was written in response to "The Negro Art Hokum" written by George S. Schyler. It was published on June 16, 1926 and was printed in “The Nation.” The word “hokum” means general nonsense. It says that the negro art movement was a nonsense and had no specific role to play on. He wanted to remove the stereotypes related to the negro art and literature which the society wanted to build.

"The negro artist and the racial mountain" was written in response to "The negro art hokum".

Though the author of "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain", Langston Hughes, doesn't mention Schuyler by name, the writer of "The negro art hokum", he gave all possible clues so it could be widely inferred his essay was a response to his article.

For Schuyler, there's no uniqueness style in the "African-American art", such label doesn't even exist since their art is the same as American art.

One week later, Hughes responded with “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain”, in which he claimed that African-American art has its distinctiveness indeed and he criticized the desire to pour racial individuality into the mold of American standardization. Instead, he believed, that "Negros" artists should stop trying to copy whites and embrace their culture, characteristics, etc.
