Jacob Lawrence jellemzők

Jacob Lawrence was one of America's most important artists. Raised in Harlem during the Great Depression, he was influenced at an early age by notable artists and writers of the Harlem Renaissance. Over the next sixty-five years, he created a rich and enduring artistic legacy. From his early narrative series to the later builders paintings, his work is a multifaceted and poetic statement on American life in the twentieth century. Lawrence was the recipient of the National Medal of Arts and the NAACP's prestigious Spingarn Medal. His work has been the subject of several major traveling retrospectives, including those organized by the Phillips Collection, the Seattle Art Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. He painted actively up until the time of his death in June 2000. Pomegranate's books of postcards contain thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection.
