StatisztikaThe Founding of Chicago
1933
37.0 x 31.0 cm
Aaron Douglas (1899 – 1979)
Aaron Douglas (1899-1979) was a leading Harlem Renaissance artist known for his murals & illustrations exploring African American identity, social justice, and segregation through Cubist & Art Deco styles. Influential modernist painter & educator.
The Founding of Chicago articulates powerful ideas about the often uncelebrated role of African Americans in the building of American cities. Chicago is a particularly interesting example because it was founded by a fur trader from Haiti, Jean-Baptiste Pointe du Sable. He is portrayed here with a shovel and coonskin cap, emerging from a rural setting with an enchained mother and her baby. Architectural emblems rise in the distance symbolizing the promise and the future of urban life in the North.
