SELECTED PRINTS 1963-2000
The Arthur Ross Gallery will present a comprehensive survey of Jacob Lawrence Prints, 1963-2000. A renowned 20th-century African-American painter/printmaker, Lawrence's self-defined style of "dynamic cubism" was primarily influenced by his life growing up in Harlem. The New York Times (June 9, 2000) called Lawrence "one of America's leading figurative painters" and "among the most impassioned visual chroniclers of the African American experience."
This selection of prints will focus specifically on aspects of urban life. Prints are courtesy of the DC Moore Gallery, New York.
A scheduled lecture by Bridget Moore, President of DC Moore Gallery, NYC
