Jacob Lawrence: The Complete Prints (1963-2000): A Catalogue Raisonne [Paperback]

Peter T. Nesbett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2005

Beginning with his first published print in 1963, Jacob Lawrence produced a body of prints that is both highly dramatic and intensely personal. In his graphic work as in his paintings, Lawrence turned to the lessons of history and to his own experience. From depictions of civil rights confrontations to scenes of daily life, these images present a vision of a common struggle toward unity and equality, a universal struggle seated in the depths of human consciousness.

Jacob Lawrence is one of my many Fine Art influences from my early days
of painting. His storytelling ability in such simple and bold structure
is amazing and graceful. His work is printed on excellent paper and this
volume shows his appreciation of the simple things in life,while growing up and as an adult. It is a muse that I will always treasure.
