The answer to the blank is: figure.

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is a phrase or word that makes use of figurative language (as opposed to literal language, figurative language deviates from the conventional meaning —the dictionary definition, for example— of a word in order to deepen the sense or meaning of the word by means of interpretation).

A figure of speech is meant to carry the expression further than its literal meaning by inventive means such as the ones that can be found in any metaphor or simile, like: your eyes are like diamonds.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

In "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," Hughes talks about the importance of identity and race in art. He argues that a true artist cannot be one in a way that is separate from his own identity. This is particularly true in the United States, where your racial background determines every aspect of who you are, what opportunities you have access to, and how people treat you.

This is illustrated in "Arrangement in Black and White." In this story, we see an African American artist who is admired by a white woman. The woman considers herself to be liberal and accepting of others. However, she is unable to look past her own racism and bias, despite her claim of being modern and understanding. This supports Hughes idea of the artist being unable to be an artist independently from his racial identity.
