Sunday Promenade 1935

"Sunday Promenade" is a 1935 woodcut by Hale Woodruff, a prominent African American artist known for his depictions of Black life and culture. The image depicts a group of figures walking through a city street, with a church in the background. The scene is rendered in bold black and white, with strong lines and geometric shapes. The woodcut's composition and style are evocative of the Harlem Renaissance, a period of artistic flourishing in the 1920s and 1930s that celebrated Black culture and identity.
