Aaron Douglas and Hale Woodruff. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 236
'The Social Responsibility and Expanded Pedagogy of
the Black Artist' examines the expansion of pedagogy
and formal instruction of Aaron Douglas and Hale
Woodruff, two African-American artists who came to
prominence during the New Negro Movement, in the
1920s. The decades following the New Negro Movement
marked a new era for the art education of African-
American students when renowned African-American
artists began to prepare future generations of
artists and art educators. Douglas and Woodruff
spent their tenures teaching the visual arts at
historically Black universities in Nashville,
Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgia, respectively. They
both had a profound influence on this new era of art
education, in which they were situated in a Black
experience in the segregated United States. This
book specifically explores to what extent and for
what goals racial consciousness and Black content
were a part of the instruction, artwork, and lives
of Douglas and Woodruff.
