Aaron Douglas, The Judgment Day, 1927, gouache on paper. Walter O. Evans Collection.
Johnson’s poem The Judgment Day refers to life after death and how, on the Day of Judgment, the souls of the living and the dead will be either condemned or redeemed based on their behavior during earthly life. A winged angel, Gabriel, blows a trumpet with “one foot on the mountain top” and the other “in the middle of the sea.” Holding a key to the Kingdom of Heaven in his left hand, Gabriel blows his horn to “wake the living nations.”

Information about this period: The Great Migration of African American in 1919 led to a the “New Negro Movement”, also know as the Harlem Renaissance between 1920-1930.
Aaron Doughlas was a Harlem Renaissance artist, whose work best exemplified the 'New Negro' philosophy.
Aaron Douglas (1899-1979) was a painter, muralist, and illustrator, who is considered the foremost visual artist of the Harlem Renaissance. He was born in Topeka, Kansas. His mother encouraged him to pursuit his interest in art. In 1925, he moved to New York, where he eventually reached the peak of his career. Douglas's use of African design and subject matter in his work brought him to the attention of W.E.B. DuBois and Alain Locke, who were pressing for young African American artists to express their African heritage and African American folk culture in their art. His work was published regularly in The Crisis, as well as in Opportunity and Vanity Fair.
In New York, Douglas studied with Winold Reiss, a German artist who helped Douglas develop his modernist style. His study in African and Modern European art, and especially his learning year in Paris, has important influence on his style.
His art works highlighted social problems and attacked social injustices in American society in the 20s and 30s. His messages to the viewers was simple, he want everyone to realized the important contributions of African Americans.
