Into Bondage (1936) By Aaron Douglas

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aaworld/arts/artfocus_03.html
 This image is explaining how during the Harlem Renaissance blacks where struggling with oppression from whites.
  The HR theme that this image is showing is Determination to fight against oppression because the people in this image are looking towards the same direction with there bodies,  facing the sun like their ready to   fight for there rights and there equality and to break away from the oppression and having to be chained to each other.
I chose this picture because i think it is very well drawn and the message stands out clearly to me, i also really like the limited amount of color that is distributed around this painting . This picture to me seems to show how these people are determined  to fight for what they deserve.
