Thesis (M.A.)--Southern Methodist University, 2012.

In 1923 the young Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias moved to New York, where he soon became an acclaimed caricaturist and illustrator. He was immediately fascinated by the Harlem Renaissance scene and became fully immersed in the cultural rebirth taking place. He produced many drawings illustrating Harlem night scenes, many of which were published in Vanity Fair as satirical sketches. Later on, his fascination with African American culture led him to produce a book of drawings entitled Negro Drawings in 1927. This book included 67 very diverse images that celebrated certain aspects of African American folk culture. These drawings are the product of complex cultural, historical and artistic circumstances that render them difficult to interpret. The disappearance of the line dividing low caricatural distortion from high modernist reductivism, the cultural rebirths taking place simultaneously in both Harlem and post-Revolutionary Mexico, Covarrubias's condition as a foreigner in the United States sharing similarities with both whites and African Americans and finally, the convergence of his artistic and anthropological interests render both the artist and his book fascinating hybrids capable of moving in between categories of race, nationality, identity, and artistic genres. Because of this peculiar characteristic, Covarrubias's images were capable of acting as intermediaries between whites and blacks, thereby navigating between the status of types and stereotypes. The ambiguities in Covarrubias's drawings and in their public reception reflect the power relationships of the times and the tension surrounding racial representation.
