Description
Jacob Lawrence (American, 1917-2000), Hiroshima

(8) screenprints in color by Lawrence with accompanying text to make complete bound volume, 1983, hand signed by Lawrence, John Hersey, and Robert Penn Warren and numbered 95 from an edition of 1500, printed at The Studio Heinrici Ltd., New York, published by the Limited Editions Club, New York., leatherbound and in original cloth slipcase.
Sheet size 12 1/2 x 9 1/4 in.
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Jacob Lawrence became known for his narrative series of tempera paintings expressive of his own life and that of his black peers who migrated from the South to the North. His vivid collage-appearing canvases typically had bold planes of color and symbolic elements of African-American heritage of struggles, aspirations, and accomplishments.

Lawrence's style is wide ranging, but he is most associated with narrative Synthetic Cubism whose popularity and uniqueness were suppressed by the advent of Abstract Expressionism. His major work, The Migration of the Negro, was a social-realist culmination of the art of the 1930s and not a harbinger of new styles.

Lawrence remains one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His works are held in such important institutions as the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and others.
The Anthony and Davida Artis Collection of African-American Fine Art
