And it Shall be Said in That Day c. 1934

"And it Shall be Said in That Day" (c. 1934) is a lithograph by African-American artist Joseph E. Bolden, depicting a scene of celebration. The work shows a man and woman dancing in front of a group of people in a forest setting, suggesting a community gathering or ritual. The artist uses a strong chiaroscuro effect, creating dramatic contrasts between light and dark areas, to emphasize the figures and create a sense of movement and energy. Bolden's works often explored themes of African American identity and the beauty of black culture, and this lithograph reflects his signature style that incorporated figurative elements, rich symbolism, and bold graphic techniques.
