Jacob Lawrence: Painting the African American Experience
Drawing on her book, Painting Harlem Modern: The Art of Jacob Lawrence,
Patricia Hills will speak on the art and life of Jacob Lawrence. For his art Lawrence drew
on his own experiences and those of his Harlem community, including writers, poets and
community activists, to paint a portrait of African American urban life during the 1930s,
1940s, 1950s and 1960s. These experiences include African American history lessons,
work for the government's Federal Art Projects, Jim Crow segregation in the South,
and Civil Rights protests during the 1960s. In all of his work he stayed true to his humanist
values by showing the good times and the often oppressive conditions, the struggles
and the hopes.
