Negro Drawings

More about the book

This monograph, the first collection of Miguel Covarrubias's Negro Drawings contains the most important work he has done in this field over a period of three years. It is designed and arranged to afford a more or less comprehensive idea of the most provocative aspects of Negro life in America, and more especially of life in Harlem. It is made up of drawings of street scenes, of workmen, of the cabaret life, of the Negro stage, of scenes from an evangelical church, and of numerous studies of Negro types.
