Description
"Presenting more than ninety illustrations of Douglas?s works and the commentary of leading critics and historians, this book focuses on the artist?s career from the 1920s through the 1940s in relation to American modernism. Its authors argue that Douglas?s bold work opened doors for African American artists in Harlem and beyond, and that it invited a dialogue with modernism that put African American life, labor, and freedom, along with African traditions and motifs, at its center. New information emerges from these pages, reflecting the rich interchange between the visual arts, music, dance, literature, and politics that shaped Douglas?s work and also defined the Harlem Renaissance"--Amazon.com.
