Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000) is recognized around the world for his compassionate images of the historic struggles of African Americans. Raised in Harlem and inspired by the Harlem Renaissance, he came to prominence when his series of paintings, 'The Migration,' was exhibited in New York in 1941 and subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art and the Phillips Collection. This exhibition of 81 etchings, woodcuts, silkscreens and lithographs are from the artist's estate.
