Aaron Douglas (artist): Difference between revisions

For the next several years, Douglas was an important part of the circle of artists and writers we now call the [[Harlem Renaissance]]. In addition to his magazine illustrations for the two most important African-American magazines of the period, he illustrated books, painted canvases and murals, and tried to start a new magazine showcasing the work of younger artists and writers. It was during the early 1930s that Douglas completed the most important works of his career, his murals at [[Fisk University]] and at the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library (now the [[Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture]]).
