Aaron Douglas is best known as a major figure in the Harlem Renaissance and one of the greatest black artists in American art history. His mature style combined art deco energy and sophistication, modernist abstraction, and themes from African and African American history, sometimes described as jazz made visible. This volume brings together essays by many of the leading scholars of African American art, including Kinshasha Conwill and David Driskell, to accompany a major exhibition of Douglas's art.
