The Creation 1935

"The Creation" is a 1935 painting by Aaron Douglas, a prominent figure in the Harlem Renaissance art movement. The artwork depicts a simplified, stylized silhouette of a man standing before a vibrant, abstract landscape. The use of geometric shapes and bold colors, reminiscent of Art Deco style, is characteristic of Douglas’s work. This painting, along with other works by Douglas, explores themes of African American identity and the African diaspora.
