Jacob Lawrence

Beschrijving

This catalogue accompanies Kunsthal KAdE’s first European retrospective of African-American artist Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000), one of the most significant painters of the twentieth century. Best known for his landmark 1941 series The Great Migration - sixty panels chronicling the movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North - Lawrence gave powerful visual expression to the struggles and triumphs of everyday life. Richly illustrated and featuring essays on Lawrence’s artistic legacy, historical context, and unique narrative style, this publication offers new perspectives on his groundbreaking body of work.
